Nagle Hall, where you take a bunch of your first year classes, does not have a lot of electrical outlets available. So I would suggest getting even getting a secondary battery on those days where you have a lot of lectures. You can get away with just writing down notes, if that's your thing, but my writing's crappy so I needed to type my notes out. I don't know if they're doing this for all the lectures but they have them recorded so you can listen to them later.
Oh and I would not advise buying dell computers a bunch of my classmates bought them through the school since that's what they recommended us to buy and most did not survive the entire 4 years
