<p>I know there are plenty computers on campus… I’m assuming you can use those for your assignments. And I don’t think the programming software takes up much memory… I honestly don’t know much about CS, but one of my friends downloaded a free C++ program for me and it was very basic (no pun intended) and didn’t take up a lot of memory.</p>
<p>When I asked what kind of computer I meant what model. If it freezes that easily, yeah, you might want to get a computer with more ram/ a faster processor. It really depends on what you feel comfortable with. From the sounds of it, I personally would get another laptop if possible. If you can’t, you should be fine using the computers on campus for assignments if you have any difficulties with your laptop, although a bit of an inconvenience.</p>
