What type of computer should I bring with me to school?You will be using a wide variety of computer software applications that to specify a single machine for this would be quite difficult. There are a lot of programs that either do not run on a PC or are extremely expensive to run on a PC (well over $1000) that you will be using. Here in this department we have labs that are open 24/7 for students enrolled in this department. This is the case across campus as well. Things that you might be doing with your personal machine would include text editing, surfing the internet, installing your own software and games and possibly installing specialized software. We suggest contacting a sale rep. and asking what is the most current machine you can get that will be easily upgrade able and will have the most memory for a reasonable price. The dorms have access through a ethernet (ResNet). This high-speed connection allows unlimited computer/Internet access for $18.00/month. So be sure to get an ethernet card. You can find out more about the connections here. |
