<p>While we will be attending advising on June 8th, I have begun to create a list of questions specific to Muhlenberg incoming freshman. Probably the most debatable (and expensive!) is the recommendation of a computer. The school has special purchase programs for HP and Dell, but my older daughter who just finished her junior year in college (and has been using a Dell laptop) is recommending we get her younger sister an Apple (I'm assuming a MacBook or something similar). We've only had Dells at home, so I'm a little leery of acting outside the box, but I hear such good things about Apple computers. But what if they do have problems with their Apple... I don't think the Muhlenberg help desk will be trained to deal with it.</p>
<p>I'd love to hear what other parents (or students) are thinking about their computer purchase this summer. I'd especially like to hear from current parents/students about what they did regarding a computer purchase and any thoughts in hindsight. If it makes any difference, my daughter will be double majoring in theatre and vocal performance.</p>
