The faculty that had the most respondents to the NODE student survey that owned laptops was Law. 81% of respondents from Law had laptops whereas overall 57% of students responding owned laptops.

Students from Engineering, Computer Science and Maths were most likely to access the internet more than twice a day -74% of respondents do. Followed by Med students (62%) and Business School students (63%). FECM students were also most likely to use Instant Messenger at least twice a day (35%).

The NODE team was keen to know what students' experiences and expectations were of ICTs. Many assumptions are made about what students know, what access  to laptops, broadband, mobile phones etc they have and what they expect of the University's IT environment. So we thought we would ask.
