Computer needed for Media School at IU

I am a direct admit into the media school and I’ve heard we are supposed to bring our laptop to NSO but I am not sure if I need to get a Mac or not for the media school.
Computers are expensive and I don’t want to buy the wrong thing.
Thanks

I’d just ask people at orientation. I’m not sure why you would need to bring your laptop to orientation unless it’s media school-specific.

my understanding is if you bring it to orientation, they will help you load all the software and apps up on it.

It’s pretty easy to download any programs you need through IUAnyWare. It’s always free and you can use it anytime. I personally wouldn’t worry about bringing it to orientation.
