Residence Wireless Pilot Project

Residential Computing supports approximately 10,000 housed students in the form of network connections, roughly 350 public computers in 77 locations and live-in computer consultants in every residence. To supplement the wired infrastructure already provided within the residences, ResComp, in collaboration with ITSS, has launched a wireless pilot project to determine usage, technical requirements, cost and programmatic effectiveness of wireless networking. For more information on the project as well as answers to your frequently asked questions about wireless in general, visit http://rescomp.stanford.edu/wireless/.

Student Computing @ Stanford: Results from the Annual Residence Evaluation

Each year, the offices of Residential Education and Residential Computing conduct a survey of all university-housed undergraduate students. Results from the survey help assess residential staff and undergraduate life in the residences. Residential Computing and Academic Computing use the data related to student use of technology to assist in strategic planning, for research, and to share with University and external colleagues. For results of the 2002-2003 undergraduate survey, click here.

Additionally, as of the 2002-2003 academic year, Residential Computing conducts a separate survey for student computing in graduate residences. This evaluation does not include questions about the Residential Education program (since there is no such program in the graduate residences), but does include almost all of the same questions as the undergraduate survey's student computing sections. For results of the 2002-2003 graduate survey, click here.

For results for all years, visit http://rescomp.stanford.edu/info/survey/.

http://ressurvey.stanford.edu/

This year's prizes include an Epson Stylus CX5400 All-In-One Printer, Scanner, and Copier, gift certicates and study breaks for your house. For more information on prizes, access the survey.

Take the 2003-04 Graduate Residence Computing Survey!

This survey hopes to collect important data about student staff in the residences and student use of technology. Residential Computing, who supports the Resident Computer Coordinators (RCCs) and the residence computer clusters, and Academic Computing, who supports the public clusters available in Meyer Library and Tresidder Union, use the data to assist in strategic planning, for research, and to share with University and external colleagues. We hope that you'll be eager to take this opportunity to express your opinions, experiences and concerns!

Limited RCC support during winter break

Most Stanford University departments will be closed for winter break. We, at Residential Computing, are mindful that you may require computer or network assistance during this time. As a result, beginning Saturday, December 11, 2004 until Sunday, January 2, 2005, Residential Computing will have a few RCCs available as a courtesy for our year-round residents. Should you require any assistance during this time, instead of contacting your designated RCC, please email holiday-support@rescomp.stanford.edu. Please note that because support is limited during winter break, response times may be longer. If you would like to use a computer while waiting for technical support, please use your nearest Computer Cluster.

Regular RCC support will be available beginning Monday, January 3, 2005.

Also, for your information, the ITSS Helpdesk (5-HELP) will also be closed from December 18, 2004 to January 2, 2005.

Student Housing Master Plan

Student Housing has started to publish information about the Housing Master Plan, which is scheduled to go into effect in Autumn 2009. Some of you may have read about this in the Daily over the last couple of years. The centerpiece of the changes is the Munger Graduate Residence, and as it opens and Crothers & CroMem become undergraduate, many residences will be "unstuffed." Since we are Residential Computing, and this information has not been widely publicized, we link to it here. The technology impacts should be transparent to students, including changes to the distribution of RCCs and the sizes of computer clusters.
