<p>Hey, I currently have some money in a 529 plan which I hope to use in purchasing a laptop. The only thing is that I need some proof citing that I need a laptop/computer at Penn so that I can make the withdrawal. Does anyone have any links to and/or ANY information which might indicate that a laptop/computer is reccommended at Penn. I'd appreciate any help.</p>
<p>Housing</a> and Conference Services</p>
<p>Computer is in the list there, does that help?</p>
<p>There is tons of information saying that a laptop is recommended but I feel the university bends over backwards to avoid ever explicitly stating "you need a computer." The best you will ever find is that you are recommended to get one.</p>
<p>thanks for the weblink with the list; that's exactly what I needed</p>
<p>hey sorry to ask again, but i tried going to the link again, but unfortunately the've changed the page. i really need to find some other documentation/sources (and print them early enough this time) which hint at needing a computer for penn. any information will help. if not anything online, can any of you suggest where on campus I might be able to find something?</p>
