Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

From PDAs being used in the honors program to the ability to scan the Internet on the CSC lawn, USD’s use of computers is top-notch. Students appreciate the numerous computer labs, the largest library in South Dakota, and the wireless connections all over campus. Most students do bring their own computers to school, and each dorm is set up to allow every student their own personal access to the school system. The upside is that it’s easy to get connected and it’s free; the negative is that our Internet Technology Services (ITS) aren’t nearly as superior as the network they provide.

With a Web site constantly changing to better attract prospective students and provide more Web-based communication among students and staff, ITS tends to be more concerned with faculty and University requests than student computer problems. But it is fabulous to know that you can register for classes, make payments, and have almost all your student questions answered from the privacy of your home. Using the Internet for school works well; using it to download movies and music isn’t such a great idea. The University has cracked down on students taking up too much space and, in some cases, has kicked students off the University system for a time.

Labs Are Always Crowded

The computers here are USD are great! However, the labs can get pretty crowded. There is a lab that is available for athletes only during most of the day and into the night, and the other computer lab is full before you know it. It is usually hard for me to find a computer to use. The WiFi is great, so I usually bring mine, but I can't print from mine. The print is pretty good (if you can get a computer).
