Do I Need a Laptop?
You are welcome to bring your own laptop to WPU, although it is not required. Most students enjoy having a personal laptop to use with the ability to be mobile with their schoolwork. However, there are computer labs on campus available for student use, as well as a program to check out Chromebooks and other technology through the Center for Immersive Learning and the library.
If you do plan on purchasing a laptop for use at WPU, we recommend they meet the following minimum standards:
