I'd say they're nice to have, but you don't "need" one.

alot of colleges and universities will require them the first year. it'll be great the first year because thats the year where you will have most of your classes and the ones not directly related to your major. i brought one for school and it has helped me alot. i do have a desktop but ya.

Not sure why you made yourself anon for such a harmless question, but in my experience(being a Freshman in College) there not necessary, but definitely useful if you have one.

my mom says I'm going to get one for college, so I think they're necessary.

I feel that it is necessary.  Yeah, the school libraries provide computers for you, but it's a pain to get a hold of one and/or wait for one to become available.  It also doesn't help when the library doesn't stay open in after-hours on the weekends incase you are that kind of student.  I recommend getting one.

If you can afford it, do it.  My laptop has come in handy at school more than once.  But honestly, I don't bring it most of the time.  Between the public computer labs and the newspaper office, I have no problem finding 'Net access without lugging my own computer around.

not at the school i'll be attending. but i'm pretty sure having one will be sweettt... not for social purposes, but simply because a laptop would help me keep everything organized and whatnot.

i was also wondering (for you college students) if laptops were allowed in class? if so, that'd be awesome, because we'd be able to type our notes. always a plus. i tend to get messy when taking notes

Ohhh, my, my. Oh, hell, yes.
