<p>Many universities have very specific computer specs for engineering students. I’d check with Vandy to see what their requirements are and possibly speak with current students to ask what they’ve found works best. As most programs now require students to have their own computers, computer labs even that we might have recognized 5 years ago don’t exist in the same capacity. The money just isn’t being spent to replace these when they’re outdated. You’ll find mega powerful machines to handle projects your typical laptop is going to have trouble with, however the days of general computer labs are going by the wayside. Confirm before you count on it.</p>
