Why is owning a computer recommended?
Computers are an integral part of education at Texas A&M. Students have to write papers, search the Internet, access email, view online class material and do many other things that require a computer. Acquisition of information technology skills also are seen as a major part of higher education. While several hundred machines are available in the labs for student use, most students find having their own computers far more convenient than completely relying on those in the labs.
