ARE's Stat Lab is dedicated to ARE graduate students, so we don't have to compete with undergrads for computing facilities. All of the computers have the latest versions of the most popular software. We also have a new HP Laser printer which features fast duplex printing. Unlike other departments at UCB and other schools, ARE does not restrict our printing and does not charge us to print. As a courtesy to others, you should avoid sending large print jobs to the printer during busy times.
Most students get computing help from other students.
If you have questions ask your classmates or other AREites working in the stat lab. You can also obtain information about ARE's system from ARE's Computing Page . Finally, you can get help from our wonderful system administrators Bob Lyons and Dana Keil. Many new students inquire about the need to purchase a PC when they come to the program. Having your own computer is more of a luxury than a necessity since ARE's supply of computer resources is adequet most of the time.
