I found out today that there is an option on the candidate portal that I hadn't noticed before: COMPUTER PREFERENCE. If you haven't seen it yet, you are asked whether you want the basic computer package (not much detail given) or if you want an optional accessory package:
• Docking station
• Surge suppressor
• USB external Mouse and Keyboard
• 21 inch Monitor
• Multi-function inkjet printer
• Speakers
• Approximate Package Cost: $500.00[/FONT]
Makes me wonder a couple of things:
1. Will USMA support these accessories in the same way they support the PCs, such that if they provide the gear they support it but they don't support stuff brought in from home?
2. Will USMA even let a plebe bring all these accessories from home, if they already have them? Esp. plebe year, which I hear may have a different set of freedoms than upper classman.
Anyone checked on this, or have experience with it?
What are other Class-of-2015 appointees thinking on this option, in terms of take it or leave it?
Thanks!
