Amazing Technology

Vassar has a printing system called V-Print. I brought a printer to school soon to find out there was virtually no reason to have one, every building (incuding dorms) have at least 1 inudstrial sized printer and printing is included in tuition, it prints fast, and is very reliable. Internet speed is great except for during some periods in the dorms there are some lags but there is wireless internet virtualllly everywhere on campus.

There are computer labs in every dorm and most academic buildings, however, since all teachers request writing assignments typed, I would highly suggest bringing a computer.

Computers Are Great, Printers Are Okay

Computers are readily available and pretty nice. You definitely don't need to bring a printer, but VPrint printers can sometimes be unreliable- as in they don't have paper so you have to go to a different building. But hey, worth the hassle if you ask me.

Great Tech.

Vassar is definitely pretty tech savvy. The wifi is fantastic. I always have full signal and fast internet everywhere (and that includes sitting outside by the lake and on the very edge of campus). I've never even heard of people using the ethernet connections here, although we do have them. Vassar has set up a printing system and gives you about $35 worth of free printing for the year and there's a printer in every dorm for students-super easy to use. Most people have their own computers here, but I know a handful who don't and they never seem to have a problem. There's also a computer lab in each dorm and a couple in the library-one of the labs has all the best (and most expensive) programs for anything from music to film. They're pretty good about fixing problems quickly when they do occur.
