Laptops take up significantly less space and are much more convenient for travel during the College's frequent breaks. If you are comfortable with the screen, keyboard, and trackpad or pointing device of a laptop and can afford to spend a bit more on a computer, you will probably find a laptop to be more useful than a desktop. Theft of laptops has not been an issue on campus. Some students have their own printers for convenience, but most do not. There are networked printers for student use located in the dorms, computer labs, and library.
Most new computers come with ethernet cards.
If your computer does not have one, you may purchase one through us and we will install it. If you are living off campus or will be using your computer to dial up to an ISP over the summer, we recommend that you have a modem. Our network currently supports wireless ethernet cards only in limited locations. We are hoping to increase our wireless facilities in the next year. Before using the campus network, you should read the Acceptable Use Policy .
