Should I bring a printer to dorm?

Computer science majors get free unlimited printing so long as it’s in the cs labs in WVH. Honors also gets free printing in WVF, but they are always out of toner so it’s not that great.

I have a printer in my room. I rarely use it, but it’s really nice for when I’m already 10 minutes late and have to print 20 pages, because the library can take a while. But I invested in a laser printer, and I know a lot of people who hate their ink printers because they always are buying ink.

Personally I’d advise NOT asking friends to print things unless it’s absolutely an emergency. I know many many people who started to really anger their friends because a “oh sure you can print that 1 page paper” turned into twice a week at 9 am printing off the 15 page required reading. If you don’t have a printer, get into the habit of using info commons. Don’t become one of those jerks who act like because your friends let you print something once or twice, you can always use it.
