Should I Bring a Computer?

You don't have to

Consider the computer power available on campus for all students to use:

• Rensselaer Computing System (RCS) UNIX workstations in public labs or work areas across campus.
• RCS UNIX workstations in residence hall clusters.
• IBM-compatible personal computers (both Windows 95 and Windows NT), including two labs equipped with multimedia software and hardware.
• PostScript printers in almost every computer lab or work area. Color scanners and color printers are also available in some locations.
• Every student can make use of a free-printing quota up to 250 pages a semester (for non-color printer jobs and output from some color printers), which is usually more than enough for most students. Students are charged a nominal fee for printing beyond the 250 page allocation per semester. We do this to encourage responsible use of printing resources. Charges for color printing are higher.
