When asking FSU students how they feel about the availability of computers on campus, opinions are pretty much the same. Shaun Rohde, from Leesburg, Va, is a third year education major here at Frostburg. He states "there are plenty". Mr. Rohde suggests that the majority of students that attend already own a personal computer so there is no race to catch one. Between Pullen labs and the library he believes there are enough. Shaun says the only reason he uses a campus computer is strictly for printing documents. "Ink isn't cheap" he states.
Mike Thoen, a fourth year sociology major from Mt. Airy, Maryland, also agrees. He said the only time he has ever had a problem accessing a computer is during finals week but he believes that it was just bad timing. What Mr. Thoen does have a problem with is the availability of Microsoft Office in the library. There is a fairly large number of computers that are strictly for internet access and no Microsoft Office capabilities. "I don't get it" he says. He suggests it is probably to keep students from sitting on computers for long periods at a time typing documents but "Facebook keeps students on a computer longer than typing a twenty page paper."
My biggest issue for this question was finding a student who does not own a computer and is dependent on the universities computers. Computers are just as common as cell phones.
