University Housing's computers are on a four-year replacement schedule, so every summer about a quarter of them are replaced. In Summer 2008, we purchased approximately 100 top-of-the-line new Dells and installed new iMacs in some labs. All computers have Windows XP installed, with the iMacs offering users a choice between XP and OS X.

We offer students the most popular software applications along with some required for classes. Some of these applications include:

  • Browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera)
  • Design (Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver)
  • Math and Statistics (Mathematica, MatLab, R, SAS, SPSS)
  • Microsoft Office Suite
  • Google Earth, iTunes, Pidgin (IM client), PuTTY, VLC Media Player, and much more.
