Computer Recommendations

With the availability of three general computer labs, you are not required to own a computer. However, many students bring their own computers to campus. Using wireless network connectivity, you can connect to the college network and the Internet from residence halls, Loew-Brenn, Science Hall, Library, Dining Commons, and HUB.  The college does not offer hardwired Ethernet connections for students.

The following links list minimum system configuration for bringing an existing computer and buying a new computer.
