Provided you get there in time you can get your work done, but if someone gets there ahead of you it means waiting in line.
Some students bring a desktop computer to use in their rooms.
But since classes don t meet in the residence halls, this means you need to go back to your room whenever you need to work. It s more convenient than waiting in line at the computer lab, but it's still not the best way to manage your time and get your work done. Also, these students are on their own when it comes to installing an Ethernet card to enable the computer to connect to the campus network and to making sure they have all the necessary software and plug-ins to access online course materials. Laptop or notebook computers provide all the features of a desktop computer, plus one BIG advantage mobility. Or, maybe you need to work in the library or even in the snack bar between classes.
