Women are significantly less likely to use computers than men.
Forty-five percent of the respondents own their own personal computer. Women and first-year students are significantly more likely than men and seniors to use a friend's computer rather than to own one. The data reveal that nearly half of the respondents who have declared a major have access to computer labs in their department. This access also varies by gender, with men having significantly greater access than women. Non-white students are significantly more likely to use public computer labs than white students.
