I can’t decide if I should buy my own printer to keep in my dorm, or rely on library/other building (?) printing. What do most students do for printing at Harvard?
My daughter’s experience in Thayer last year was that she could not always connect to the dorm printer, and the supplies were not reliably kept up. At least, that’s what she told me. We ordered a Brother laser printer from Amazon. I’ve had a similar model in my home for years. Most reliable.
Both my daughter and son took a b&w laser printer to school for all 4 years. They found it very helpful, as did their roommates (none of whom brought printers to school).
I’m a student at Harvard (rising sophomore) and I think most students use the library printers. Having a printer in your dorm is convenient if money is no issue, but it does not come close to paying off cost-wise. I never had issues printing in the library.
