Submission + - The Campus Computer Lab, RIP 1960-2009

theodp writes: "When every student has a laptop, why run computer labs? That's a question schools have been asking themselves as computer ownership rates among incoming freshmen routinely top 90%. After only four freshmen showed up at the University of Virginia in 2007 without a computer of their own, the school decided that it's no longer worth the expense of running campus computer labs. Student computer labs have been a staple on campus since the '60s. So what are the benefits that will be missed as other schools follow UVa's lead?"
