<p>I plan to major in Cognitive Neuroscience... does it matter whether I come in with a Windows (PC) or a Mac operating system for my laptop? Like, are there special files or programs that only come designed for one system so that I'd trouble if I had the other?</p>
<p>Thanks for your input!!</p>
<p>Not really. And if there are any programs you find yourself needing to use that don’t work on the computer you have, Rice has a large number of computer labs that are always open.</p>
<p>Plus any Mac can easily dual boot Windows through Boot Camp.</p>
<p>Both my kids have mac laptops and did/do fine at Rice. One was in humanities/social sciences and one in Engineering.</p>
