<p>I have a desktop on campus that I brought from California and there are pros and cons. Storage is an issue, but I usually just pop out my hard drives when I go home and make arrangements for the case and monitor. Also working on projects in groups can be sort of difficult because of portability issues. </p>
<p>For the most part, it is not too big of a deal. There is the benefit of being able to walk away from the distractions when you need to study or you need to pay attention in class.</p>
