Technology is incorporated into all majors and many classes at Drake. Wireless Internet access is available across campus; every residence hall room has wireless service and two ethernet ports giving students full, high-speed internet access. In addition, cable television and voice mail are available in the residence halls. Students are expected to bring their own computers to campus, but they may also use computer labs located conveniently across campus.
