Students must bring with them a laptop computer with DVD read/write capability, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 1.83GHz or higher, 1GB RAM, 60GB hard drive Wireless LAN card (included in most new computers)

SUGGESTED ITEMS

1. Microsoft Office (software)
2. Norton System Works or McAfee Internet Security Suite software
3. Inkjet Printer (may want to purchase with other roommates)
4. Laptop case
5. Extended technical support for your computer purchase

Please purchase the best laptop computer you can afford. While a 13-inch monitor will do, when working with web and graphics programs, your screen will become completely filled with the program (s) you are using. If you can afford it, you will be much happier with a 15 or even a 17-inch monitor.

Software can be purchases at considerable discounts from educational software providers if you have a student ID. Here are a two.
