That should assist in answering that question.

You will probably find that a lot of students use their laptops at uni but not many actually bother connecting them to the network. Your daughter will be assigned a certain amount of credit to be used per semester, I believe for UWA this is correlated with how many units she is currently enrolled in.

You pose the question about sending her off with a laptop yet we do this for high-school students in the region and in the case of Orana with primary school students? I don't see any issue with it, I'm guessing 80% of students do it at the moment.

Cheers!

Hi WAMUGers
I think i will have a daughter studying at UWA next year.
Does anyone know what the setup with students and macbooks/laptops is?
Do many students use them?
Is there a wireless coverage? Does it cost?
Or is it overkill thinking about sending young daughter off to UWA with a macbook under her arm???
