spacer FRESHMAN COMPUTERS

Since its founding, Grove City College has believed that a quality education is also a practical education.  Given the prevalence of computer technology in most career fields, we believe learning about and using computers is important across the curriculum.

All full-time students receive the use of a notebook computer and printer.  Students who are full-time when they graduate get to keep the equipment.  There are network ports (10 Mbps switched Ethernet) for every bed in the dorms, every classroom and many public spaces on campus to connect the students to the Internet and a variety of campus services.

Our Repair Shop is staffed by certified computer technicians who provide on-site repairs for all college provided equipment.  Note that standard warranties only cover normal wear and tear, so all students are encouraged to provide their own insurance coverage for those unfortunate incidents of life!  A student run Help Desk provides excellent support and information for all types of computer questions.
