Loras

Technology is a major component of the Loras experience. As part of our one-to-one mobile computing program, all full-time students receive a Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.  But the mobile computing program provides more than just a laptop.

Our laptop campus does not end on campus.  You can take your laptop everywhere.  Whether you are studying abroad, on holiday break, taking a service trip, you name it...your laptop goes with you.  This is a great way to stay in touch with family, friends and professors no matter where you are.  And don't worry, all laptops are covered!  As long as a laptop is not intentionally damaged , Loras will cover repairs.  By having your own laptop you will be a step above the competition when searcing for a job.  You will gain the skills you need to transition smoothly into the workplace.  You will be proficient on your laptop, and not many can say that right out of college.   

All classrooms and common areas have wireless accessibility and all residence halls are equipped with wired network and Internet access, enabling you to communicate with other students, professors and the rest of the world.  Not only does this mean easy access to the network, Internet and e-mail, but it also provides professors with endless possibilities for innovative classroom activities.  Students engage in class debates through online discussions, produce websites exhibiting class studies and collaborate with students across the globe conducting similar research.

Students also have training opportunities, Help Desk support for general questions and on-campus repairs, network space, personal web pages, network printing.  These luxuries are offered at very few other schools. Furthermore, students receive a new laptop every two years ensuring they will stay up-to-date with current technologies.
