However, while there are laser printers available in the every computer lab, many students choose to purchase their own inkjet or laser printers for the convenience of printing in their rooms. Having your own printer alleviates any difficulties in printing from software or versions not available in the labs. In such situations, having a personal printer can be much more convenient. There are many inexpensive inkjet printers currently available. Modems will not work on Barnard's campus.
Ethernet cards work in place of modems.
There is no fee for your Ethernet connection. Once you have registered your Ethernet adapter online, you will be able to configure your connection yourself as soon as you arrive on campus. If you need assistance installing an Ethernet card or encounter problems with configuring your networking properties, Residential Computing Assistants will be available to assist you. Special hours for the first few weeks of the semester will be posted around campus and available on our webpage. There are two public access 24-hour computing labs in the Quad where all first year students are housed.
