Technology & Laptop Programs

In 2005, going to college online was a luxury offered to students at prestigious universities or innovative schools. In 2023, things have migrated from luxury to necessity. Over 95% of colleges and universities in the United States offer at least one course through online study. In fact, over 65% of students state that online study is a Must have for college students.

Since online in integral to the student experience, we list colleges that excel at providing technology support to their students. This list is made of schools that offer laptops to incoming college students, loaners for existing students and cutting edge deals with select manufactures. Additionally, we have also included tech support programs because we all know that technology problems always occur around noon when everyone is around. We are kidding. If you have a tech emergency, your school should have the resources to support you.
