ComputersWhat did we do before e-mail?

The College has a computer room which offers excellent IT facilities and Internet access to undergraduates. It's open 24 hours a day during term, invaluable during exam time, and provides a wide range of PC workstations, scanners and printers. The computers have the standard software most people are likely to need and provide connections to the University Network for e-mailing and Internet usage.

There is a termly Computer Connection charge. For the academic year 2011/12, it is £25. Print charges are 5p per A4 print. 

All College rooms are connected to the University Network, and if you have your own computer you can connect it up, giving you unlimited access to the Internet - great for both academic work, and for organising your social life.

If you get stuck or something isn't working, IT support is always available from the Computer and IT Manager.

In addition, over the road is the New Museums Site, containing two further computer rooms provided by the University Computing Service. These are also free to use and offer a wider range of software, as well as printing and design programmes. There are similar facilities at most of the faculty sites around Cambridge.

"Because of the nature of College existence, you are guaranteed to be close to the Computer Room- even for second years living down the road in Newnham House its only a five minute walk, and for first years living predominantly in New Court it is less than a thirty second wander down the stairs in the morning in your slippers and a dressing gown to check your e-mails." - Jessie Greengrass, Philosophy.
