P.S., Mom and Dad, you may be asked to pitch in with your muscle power because, with permission, dorm rooms can be painted. Also, on some of your visits, anticipate a trip to the local Wal-Mart for purchasing those little extras for the room. Wait and see what is needed before sending the U-Haul to Georgetown. Life will be easier for freshmen if they have their own computer and printer. Also, about of freshmen have access to a computer because their roommates have a computer in the room.
All dorm rooms have connections to the campus network and the Internet .
If your freshman does not have a computer, there are over 90 computers available for use in the new Learning Resource Center and 25 computers at other sites around campus. The Learning Resource Center closes at midnight or before. Thus, when students have their own computer and printer, it is a significant academic support. GC's Information Technology Services can help you find out more about what kind of computer to buy and what software is provided for students. During weekdays, students can call the HELP desk for any kind of computer assistance.
