" Frequently Asked Questions
"
" * Do I need a computer? Every entering student must have a
" notebook computer for use with the VitalBook DVD, the video DVD
" and other programs, and for use in our facility for clinical
" simulation and foundation skills
" * Why do we strongly recommend IBM & Dell? You will need to rely
" on this computer for four years. We have worked with many
" computers over the last several years and have found the
" reliability, service, and warranty of the Dell Latitude and IBM
" ThinkPad to be excellent, and strongly recommend them. The NYU
" Computer Store has worked closely with representatives from Dell
" & IBM in attractively pricing these computers significantly
" under list price for students.
" * What software / programs should I know before starting school?
" You should know how to use Microsoft Word & PowerPoint.
" Familiarization with an email program and use of the Internet is
" recommended.
" * Will I need a printer? A printer is strongly recommended to
" print material for studying and assignments.
" * Will my computer purchase & VitalBook be covered by financial
" aid? The VitalBook is considered a textbook and the annual fee
" for the VitalBook will be covered by financial aid. A fee will
" be incorporated into your student bill that will cover the
" VitalBook. Your computer purchase is necessary for the VitalBook
" and other programs, and it will qualify for financial aid as
" well.
" * Can I purchase a computer now to get a head start? You can begin
" to purchase a computer now or wait until the summer but you must
" have a computer during orientation. You will be able to purchase
" a computer during orientation as well. During orientation we

" 4, 2004 (class of 2007AP) or August 30, 2004 (class of 2008),
