<p>Freshman here. I know most of us will be bringing laptops to our dorms, but do we need to bring our printers too? Or are there places on campus where we can plug our laptops into printers and print stuff?</p>
<p>Well you can't take your laptop, but if you need to print something, you can e-mail it to yourself and go print it at any of the ORL computer labs in the dorms (each resident gets $5.00 in their printing account each year - it costs $.05 a page). Another option is the STC, where you can either use one of their computers to print something out, or there is a small print client program you can download, which will allow you to print things from your computer to the STC printers (as long as your computer is hooked up to the residential network). I had a printer my first year before the POS broke - but really, I don't miss it much. I find that I really don't print all that much.</p>
<p>I was thinking about bringing my printer but decided against it because it'll probably break and your roomates will probably wanna borrow it all the time if they don't bring their own and stuff. 5 cents isn't too bad i guess,</p>
<p>Don't get a printer... There are printers all over campus, some of which actually give you free printing (heh). :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I'm gonna bring my own printer because it will be more convenient. But that's just me. If it breaks, and printers often do, then i'll use the printers that are all over campus.</p>
<p>i'm bringing one. its just more convenient vs. emailing it to yourself and all of that.</p>
<p>hmm, i think i'll try using the campus printers. thanks</p>
<p>are there scanners available? like for scanning pics or whatnot..</p>
<p>^ yes - STC has scanners and disc burners and such available</p>
