Related to computers, what exactly should students bring to campus?
In addition to a computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter, there are several items students should bring along to campus. First, it will be necessary to have an Ethernet (LAN) cable in order to physically connect the Ethernet adapter in the computer to the network jack in the wall. Generally, most new computers that have an Ethernet adapter pre-installed do not ship with an Ethernet cable. Ethernet cables can be purchased from the Lehigh University Bookstore, which stocks 14 ft., 25 ft., and 50 ft. cables. A 25 ft. cable should be sufficient for most student rooms. Students should also bring to campus the disks (CDs or DVDs) that came with their omputer. These disks may contain the original operating system as well as software and drivers for hardware components installed in the computer. While these disks aren’t necessary for the day-to-day use of the computer, they are essential if it ever becomes necessary to reinstall the operating system or correct serious software problems.
