<p>I know that there are multiple places on campus to use a printer, but do most students bring printers with them for the dorm? Space is so limited and it would be nice if my daughter didn't have to bring one.</p>
<p>i dont need printer, really for me…i would have to buy one and supply it with ink every now and then…id rather not</p>
<p>in the reitz 3rd floor, room 365 …every student can print 300 pages a semester for free.</p>
<p>comes out of tuition, so might as well put it to good use</p>
<p>(but the computer lab sometimes even has a line out the door…so maybe bring it and push it under the bed)</p>
<p>cant say no to free ;], at my previous university i had to pay 8 cents a page…which actually got pretty annoying</p>
<p>I think a printer is necessary for at least one person to have in the room (it was for me and my roommate). Many times the professor will not print out handouts (due mostly due to the dwindling budget) but will instead have them online. The reitz printing sucks, but printers do cost a decent amount of money and ink even more so (and don’t forget the paper). </p>
<p>It also depends on your daughter, if she is perfectly fine with reading off of the computer screen then it may not be as necessary (like if she was going to bring her laptop to her classes). Also her major is kinda important since the social sciences will require more printing (online articles) then the sciences in general. </p>
<p>Overall I would strongly suggest getting a printer.</p>
<p>I went to reitz (I remember when it was unlimited printing). The other computer labs charge you per page, but color is also available. </p>
<p>To avoid the lines at reitz, dont go during the afternoons. I usually went from 6/7pm and later.</p>
<p>I use an inexpensive ($35) HP multi-function machine. It comes in handy for small print jobs and it is especially useful at odd hours or the middle of the night. It also can make photocopies that I need once in awhile and it can scan images. For larger documents where there is no rush–the free printers in the labs work out best.</p>
