Should I bring a computer to Bethel?

That is entirely up to you. Many students bring a computer with them for convenience, but there are many students who do not. If you're not sure, you can always wait a few weeks after you get here to see if you need one or not. If you don't have a computer, Bethel has a main computer lab, computer classrooms, and computer labs in residential areas. Hours of operation vary depending on the time of year.

Laptop or desktop, Mac or PC. This is also a personal preference decision. Laptops allow you the freedom to take notes in class or write papers away from your room or computer lab. Both Mac and PC work equally well on our system.
