The email service is very similar to HotMail but is only available to Drake students, faculty and staff. Of course you can also access your email with standard email clients such as Eudora. Drake Computing Environment Drake uses a mixed platform environment. A little over half of the faculty use Macintosh computers, however, the percentage of Windows-PC users is growing. The vast majority of students bring Windows-PC computers to campus.
Students have access to a variety of computer labs across the campus.
Most are small departmental labs setup to compliment academic programs. The departmental labs are supported and managed by the departments themselves. The public lab is supported and managed by Information Technology and the Council of Deans. Students are expected to bring their own computers to campus and the vast majority do. Some students in residence halls pay a fee to use one of Drake's Macintosh computers in their room.
