<p>I have looked through the Yale website but have not found anything that definitively says a laptop is required. </p>
<p>I have a 527 fund that I would like to use to purchase a new laptop, but I can only do so if laptops are required at Yale. </p>
<p>Do any current students know the policy regarding this or could anyone point me to a statement from Yale which says laptops are absolutely required?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Laptops are definitely not required, but I think you will find that nearly every single student has one. It’s a purchase which is required only in the sense that it make Yale much, much more easy if you have access to a computer from wherever you are (the entire campus has wireless Internet). That said, students receive 24 hour access to computer labs on campus, so you can make it work without a laptop if it’s truly necessary.</p>
<p>They don’t go as far as to tell you that it is mandatory, but for all intents and purposes, you can’t do without one.</p>
