Several days ago I submitted a brief overview of the resources at MIT available to interested undergraduates. My posting was a result of the "yale!kaufman"'s inquiry of the day before. I would like to add my own request: I would like to here summaries from other schools on the net, especially uc berkeley and colleges with ~200+ undergrad EECS stanford majors per graduating class cmu cal tech penn penn state lehigh uc san diego Also, if your school has an interesting solution (or idea) concerning computer resources at the undergraduate level please chime in.

As usual, anyone taking a class that needs computer access get computer accounts. The following resources are open to the Undergrad who is attending a computer class here at UCSD. Let it be noted that there are a LOT of computer classes that have nothing to do with Computer Science and Engineering. And also, the computers that are owned and operated by individual departments are allocated to students who are in those departments. UCSD Computer Center 3 - Vax 11/780 5 - Vax 11/750 2 - Pyramid 90x 2 - Catt Unix systems (PDP-11's) 1 - Sun Microsystem UCSD Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 1 - Vax 11/780 Misc Micro Computers UCSD Psychology and Linguistics Dept. 10+ Sun Microsystems with workstations. The Computer Center here at UCSD has come up with a nice system for Undergraduates. Anyone who has a student ID can get a free $100.00 "Student Literacy Account" on one of the computer center machines. Now, its not a huge amount, but it helps. Also, students can get "Research" accounts through the individual departments at UCSD. These are functionally unlimited, but you need to have a professor give you one of these.
