<p>Are your kids bringing or do you have a printer in your dorm room? Is having a printer worth the trouble versus paying to print?</p>
<p>The majority of people on here over the last few years seem to agree that having a printer is not necessary. I think there is a $50 credit automatically added to their Tulane card which covers printing and copying. B&W printing and copying is 10 cents a page, while color is 50 cents. So for most students that is 250 pages a semester, which should be plenty. Of course more can be added to the card if needed.</p>
<p>Agree with FC. We have lugged a printer for S1 both years and I think he used it a few times freshman year and that was it. Not even sure it was ever plugged in sophomore year, so I suggest you save yourself the trouble and expense and let him use the printers at school. Mine never went over the printing allowance whatever it happens to be.</p>
<p>My son is not planning on having a printer in his dorm room.</p>
