Business majors are not required to own a computer, but it is strongly recommended that business majors own a laptop computer with wireless card, particularly in the junior and senior years. A computer is an essential tool for college. Computers are available in campus clusters, but it is far more convenient to have your own.
Most dorm rooms have an ethernet connection that provides a broadband connection to the web.
Laptops capabilities and prices are not far from those of desktops. CMU's unique wireless environment makes laptop ownership more attractive than ever. You can check email and surf the web almost anywhere on campus. All you need is a wireless card, which you should purchase at the CMU Computer Store to make sure it is compatible with our system. If you prefer a big screen, just plug a large monitor into your laptop.
