Summer@Brown: Computers on Campus

Information for Accepted Students

Students are encouraged to bring a computer to Summer@Brown. Residence halls at Brown have both wireless access and are wired for access to the Brown network and the Internet. Students who have the appropriate computing equipment and can configure their own computers are welcome to use the network during the summer at no charge. You will receive information about getting connected on the network when you arrive on campus during student orientation.

Public Computing

Public computing clusters are available for general computing needs with a Brown Network I.D., which you can elect to set up when you arrive on campus. Computing clusters contain Macintosh and Windows computers as well as scanners, printers, and data-storage devices.

Students are responsible for printing costs. To pay for printing services, you must purchase a Bear Bucks Guest Card for $1 from any Value Port machine. Value Port machines are located in the university libraries. It is advised to only add money in small increments, as unused funds are not refundable.
