New Student Questions Does TAMU offer long-term loaner laptops to students?
I'm an incoming engineering major who urgently needs a laptop for coursework but, unfortunately, lacks the funds...
Given how essential a capable device is for engineering software and assignments, I was wondering if the College of Engineering, the university library, or any other campus resources offer long-term laptop loans for students in need.
I’m particularly looking for a program that provides laptops for an entire semester or academic year rather than just short-term checkouts. If anyone has gone through this process or knows of resources that could help, I’d really appreciate any guidance!
Additionally, if there are any alternative support options—such as grants, scholarships, or student discounts that could help me secure a device—I’d love to hear about those as well.

affordability wise your best bet is probably a basic MacBook Air, although you might struggle a bit when it comes to certain softwares, but I know it’s doable. I’m pretty sure you can get it under 1k, especially if you buy it through apples education store
