Meet your new constant
companion - your laptop
Rose-Hulman requires all incoming freshmen to have a laptop - and
we have since 1995 - so that you have the world at your fingertips,
you can stay organized and you can work anywhere on campus. We
select a model each year so that everyone has the same laptop. You
can buy your laptop bundle up front or pay for it over the course
of your four years.
Our campus network includes 7,000 wired Ethernet ports and an
extensive IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network, which means you can
work online nearly anywhere on campus. That includes all
residence-hall rooms, snack bar and nearly every classroom and lab.
The wired Ethernet infrastructure is a fully switched 100Mbps
network with a 45Mpbs connection to the Internet.
