depends which college you are looking for I know that University of Virginia and Virginia Tech require that you purchase a pc from them (this don't mean bring your own.. you have to buy thier pc at their price) I believe this is going for the norm for certain classes, I went to University of North Carolina at Greensborro, and wasn't required to have one (computer science major) so your best bet is to call around to the colleges you are interested in and find out then |

Bridgewater, Framingham and Worcester state colleges in Massachusetts require students to own laptops. The University of Texas requires students to own Apple laptops. Drew University in NJ and Wake Forest University in NC include laptops in their tuition. Reportedly, Drexel and Dartmouth also require students to own computers. I went to Caltech, which did not have any computer ownership requirements, so it all depends on the school. Your best bet is to ask the colleges themselves. |

If you don't own a computer these days, you are either opting for manual labor or housewife as your target job. (Okay, I'm joking, but every industry seems to be headed that way). The issue becomes more about whether you have to buy a computer from a university - regardless of whether you already have one or not - OR you have to run a specific OS to be allowed onto the campus network. Most universities supply a computer lab for those who don't own a computer/can't afford one and simply encourage everyone to get a computer. Those that enforce a policy of a specific laptop or whatever are doing it because they have to manage more than 1,000 people owning computers and a standard, consistent setup makes it easy to push security updates and system policy changes to everyone. If you go to a college that doesn't enforce buying their laptop, you should consider the Tablet PC and get Microsoft OneNote to take notes with. I wish I had that when I was in college - would have been the only thing I would have needed in class (assuming I could have gotten PDF versions of the textbooks). |
