Although there are a number of computing labs available on-campus, the majority of Wellesley students decide to bring their own computer to use in addition to those provided in campus computing labs. Some manufacturers offer discounts for students on computers and on software. To learn more about these discounts, visit the Wellesley College Computer Purchase Program site.

Before you purchase a computer, you should make sure that the computer meets the specifications suggested by Wellesley Computing and ResNet here at Wellesley. ResNet has come up with a handy guide to ensure that your purchase will meet the requirements of the College network. To view a copy of the guide (PDF), click here.

All residence halls have a phone line and number assigned to each room. Phone service at Wellesley is available to students for no charge and information about the exact services provided can be found on the Telecommunications site. Students must provide the landline phone.
