While Shepherd does not require students to own a
computer, we strongly encourage it. The decision to purchase a
Windows or Apple computer should be made based on your major. Linux
based computers are becoming popular, but they require a greater knowledge
than PCs or Macs. Contact the department chair from your
area of study
to determine which type is right for you.
Shepherd does not operate a computer store and we
cannot repair computers. We strongly recommend you research
vendors and purchase a quality machine backed by good service. Vendors such as Dell, Apple,
Gateway and HP have solid reputations. Search for education discounts from the vendor and
take advantage of them if offered. Consider extended warranties.
Our suggestions below are for students looking to purchase a computer that will last four years. |
