It is possible to complete a degree in Computer Science without having a computer of your own. All necessary software and hardware is available on campus.
But… It is a lot easier if you have a computer you can use from home, dorm, park, etc.
There is no one specific setup that is best for everyone but some guidelines are:
Windows based computers are the easiest to adapt to coursework for all classes. Other options in order of usability are as follows but maybe be problematic for CSci 114 & 366 courses:
You will need something with a bit of computing power as you will most likely need to run multiple applications at the same time.
Hardware Recommendations are:
Processor: An i5 processor or equivalent with at least 4 cores.
Memory: At least 8GB of memory. With Windows 10, 16GB will make a noticeable difference on performance.
Storage: You can get by with 250GB of storage but if you use your computer for other things than school work, 480GB is better.
Screen: What ever size suits you, but programming/research often results in having numerous windows open.
For Hyflex/virtual courses, a webcam & microphone is required.
