Mac or Windows... this is entirely your preference. Both platforms are fully supported by Whitman and have full access to the college’s resources, including printers and networks. We estimate that student computers are split about 60/40 (Mac/Windows). The decision comes down to personal preference, so research which will best suit your needs.

No Major at Whitman will require you to own a particular type of computer.
