Computers at Rhodes
I love having my own computer, but it really isn't necessary on this campus. We have plenty of computer labs around campus with printing on a budget that you receive at the beginning of every semester. We've recently had some problems with wireless connectivity, but IT has worked really hard to fix these problems, and they have gotten much better. I would recommend having your own printer. It's convenient for late night or early morning paper print-outs, but not necessary.

Parking at Rhodes
Anyone can have a car on campus. All you have to do is register it with campus safety and get a sticker for it. Freshmen can only park in the freshman lot, which always has a lot of room. Upperclassmen have more options with better parking closer to the dorms. You WILL get a ticket if you park where you are not supposed to (fire lanes, faculty parking, not parking in the freshman lot for you freshmen). I have never gotten a parking ticket, but I think the fines get worse with repeated offenses, so just don't do it. However, some prizes given away at campus events include parking fine passes. I love having my car, but it's not hard to find a ride with friends. We also have a few ZipCars on campus that you can rent out for the day (or a couple of hours).

Honor Code
Rhodes has a really strong honor code. You can leave your laptop out in the library while you go out to get food, and it will still be there, unharmed, when you get back. No one locks up their bikes on campus, and they don't get stolen. We have a really trusting environment.
