Personal Computers
Yale College has no computer ownership requirement or operating system preference. However, over ninety percent of Yale undergraduates own personal computers, with a Windows to Macintosh ratio of about two to one. Students with personal computers can connect to Yale's network from their rooms, using in-room Ethernet connections, or from various locations around campus by means of wired and wireless networks. Information about connecting to Yale's network can be found at www.yale.edu/its/stc. If you bring your own computer, bring along all documentation, software media, and warranty information. These materials are essential to connecting to the network and solving computer problems. A method for backing up data, usually to an external hard drive or DVDs, is also recommended. |
