Two questions:
1) Is a car pretty much required for Columbus living?
2) What's the procedure to get your laptop approved and exempted from buying a new one? $1800 is pretty steep.
I second what logos said. Public transportation is pretty crappy in Columbus. You could get by without a car (at least the first two years), but I have to think it would be fairly inconvenient.
The laptops are a little steep, but like logos said, it includes an awesome four year warranty. I know a couple of people who have had their keyboards replaced and other things. I'm thinking about having mine sent in whenever I decide I can live without it for a few days. Plus, it's a nice computer. If you are a mac person, be warned that they won't approve your mac. The mac people I know either sold or gave their laptop away and continue to use their macs. If you go to http://ckm.osu.edu/mobile/5246.cfm, you can investigate the info on the laptop program. If you click on the link for "laptop package" it will give you the specs they used last year and what they said your current laptop needed to be exempt. I don't know when they will update it for next year, but you could e-mail the tech people at the address listed on the page. The $1800 is included in your budget, and they bill it to you each quarter ($600 a quarter).
