YOU WILL NEED A COMPUTER. You can use the university computer lab located in the library, Education Building, or Marshall Center (student union), but it is much more advantageous to have your own.
- In the computer lab in the basement of the Marshall Center, each student is allowed to print 30 free pages per day. There is also a scanner available for student use.
- On your computer, you will definitely want to have Powerpoint and (Microsoft) Word or some other word processing program.
- If you have a laptop, USF has wireless capabilities, so a wireless card might be a convenient thing to have. Most of us highly recommend investing in one. If you’re unfamiliar with what a wireless card is, you can access the internet anywhere on campus using your laptop without having to plug anything in. Wireless cards can be purchased at most stores that sell computers. (around $50). In addition, a number of coffee shops in the Tampa area have wireless capabilities, so you can use the internet at those locations if you choose to do so. Some apartment complexes also offer wireless service, so it could be something you can inquire about when looking for apartments.
- You can get free web-based e-mail through USF. You will learn how to access this account during orientation.
- For computer use at home, if you are not interested in having a dial up connection, you can get DSL or RoadRunner.
- A little more about Roadrunner... its offered through Bright House Networks, a local cable company. They do offer a USF student discount, but you need your USF ID in order to get the discount. You can get your ID anytime you want this summer by going to the Marshall Center. For more information about USF computing services, click here: http://www.acomp.usf.edu/
