do colleges have any rules regarding what laptop students should have?
sopho_girl
i am a senior in high school and i need to get a new laptop, but my mom is worried because she thinks that colleges might have rules or criteria about what kinds of laptops their students use. is this ever true? if so, what kind of things and at what colleges?
plz respond asap
thanks
Answer
Most students will be fine with a standard laptop. A Mac laptop is better for certain graphics-oriented majors, as well as for film editing for film students. Don't buy your laptop now because many colleges offer computers at discounted rates for their students. My daughter bought her desktop computer through her school -- it was not only much cheaper, but it was waiting for her in her dorm room when she arrived at school. Once you know where you're going, you can ask if the school has a discounted purchase plan for computers and you can ask your major department what type of laptop they would recommend.
