Getting started
Although the University of Georgia strongly recommends that
students have access to a computer, to the Internet, and to
appropriate software, ownership of a computer is not a requirement
for enrollment at the University of Georgia. Given that computing
demands can vary widely from discipline to discipline, students
are also strongly encouraged to ask whether their school or
department has made any specific recommendations. For students
who are undecided on their major, we have provided information
as a general guideline
for purchasing a computer.
