<p>Does BU have any requirements for students’ computers, specifically aerospace engineering?</p>
<p>Can't answer for that program. You could call them, check their bulletin, etc. The school has no specific req. People use laptops, desktops, whatever OS they want.</p>
<p>There are no requirements for any school at BU. Any programs or special computing things you would need would be available at computer labs.</p>
<p>Okay thanks for the replies. I'm trying to figure out if I should go with a laptop or desktop for college. Do you know if a lot of people take their laptops to class?</p>
<p>Fewer than you'd think. It's a drag hauling your computer around. Lots of people either email their work to themselves or carry a flash drive. Then they can get on a computer in the library or elsewhere and work. </p>
<p>BU has wireless in main areas of the campus but not up and down the length of Comm Ave. Some people take their laptops to the Beach - behind the library.</p>
<p>I assume you're a current student? Do you have a desktop or laptop and is it a good solution for you?</p>
<p>I have a laptop on campus. It's been really convenient for team meetings in the business school and for taking notes in some classes where I just can't write fast enough. I know more people with laptops than desktops, but those with desktops get by just fine. It depends on what you're looking for in a computer; power or convenience</p>
