Use of Laptops?

A lot of people bring their laptops to lecture to take notes in them. It’s not required, but it’s a lot faster to type than to write in a notebook. I highly recommend them if you’re taking a class in which the instructor only provides notes orally.

Having a laptop stolen isn’t uncommon here at Binghamton. Although, if you practice some common sense, you’ll be fine. Those who tend to get theirs stolen don’t lock their dorm room doors. ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS, and check to ensure that it is locked before leaving your dorm. Also, if you study in the library, NEVER LEAVE YOUR BELONGINGS UNATTENDED. If you need to use the bathroom, take all your stuff with you. Still, despite these warnings, I still see many people leaving their belongings unattended for hours at times in the quiet study rooms.

Finally, Bing does not have that laptop security device program, although I wish it did. Just remember, people DO steal here.
