You are a student, as well as a consumer …

…and should know what you’re paying for, so ask!

In searching for the right college or university, you’ll find all kinds of guides, lists, and rankings designed to help and influence your choice, along with print and Web resources that schools are glad to send you.

Computers are everywhere and will be a big part of your college experience. While a campus’ technology resources, support, and services will not be the only factors you consider, they are important, variable, and too often misunderstood.

One of the best tactics is to ask questions. Remember, there are no “dumb” questions, just those you want answers to before you make a commitment.

Even if you’re undecided now about a program or a career you’ll be a learner, a discoverer, and a technology consumer at your school. Spend a little time learning how information technology will make a difference at your school and in your future.
