It should be good for college, as long as you aren't running advanced architecture programs

It is really a very good laptop, as long as he doesn't need a driver (CD-DVD) this is the best laptop i had ( always had dell and I didn't like.

I think the lap top will have all that a college student would ever need. My only gripe was Windows 8.I gave it to a college kid, he is happy with it. Its worth the money.

Its cheap but not as sturdy. It looks and feels cheap. You can use it if for school bit make sure you have a good antivirus since this is windows machine.

Yes, just make sure you have access to Microsoft Word. My Asus did not come with it preinstalled.

Yes it is. My son uses it constantly. Makes not having a large study place much easier for him.

If he likes it at school, he'll like it at home... the question is whether you should acquire the large set or just a "starter" for now... that's up to you!

I think it would be great for him. I got it primarily for my daughter who is 8 to take with her to her dad's house and to use as a learning tool for our home schooling.

No, I'm sorry, but my son uses that one at college. Good luck with your search!

With just 2GB memory this computer runs very slow. I Think for a college student you should find one with more memory. I regret buying this one because you cannot add to it. Hope this helps.

I would say yes if there are programs that you need it for. It is basically a desktop replacement but if you are able to I would suggest leaving it at home/dorm-room so it doesn't get damage or undergo wear and tear because it's pretty large. For an example if your going to class I would suggest taking a netbook since you a lot of times they are available for a cheap price on Amazon and when you get back home or to your dorm housing use the big laptop. I'm just saying that if your able and would be able to have the means to do so. I hope this helps and I wish you the best on whatever decision you make.

it is a great machine for gaming and video editing and animation such as game design or auto cad. it would no doubt last for many years as long as it is taken care of. Viruses are more prominent on windows 7 so a good anti virus is needed but only other problem i good foresee for college is it is large and very heavy. not meant to really be taken around a large amount and after a little bit of time in your bag slung on your back/shoulder you would notice it very much so.

I think a Keurig would be a great option for them. I purchased this one for a work area and chose this model because it shuts off automatically after 2 hours if not be used, good for safety. You may want this option for the dorm room as well, if that's a concern. I have one of these at home and love it, different model though. I have one with a larger "water tank". I definitely recommend the Keurig but which model, you'll have to decide which is best for their needs. Hope this helps somewhat, Good Luck!

Yes. My daughter is 17 and pretty much full grown. She and her friends sit and do homework and when it's time to climb to bed, it's nice and steady. The bed slats are actual hard wood and the hardware is is high quality. It is tall so make sure you consider head room, especially since you will probably want to buy a 6" or 8" mattress. The key is to be careful to take the time to really tighten the hardware. This is a piece of furniture that she is planning on using into her college years, so I imagine you could be very happy with this set up.

I bought it for my college son's dorm. My son loves it. If it can survive his first semester I would definitely say it's sturdy.

Yes it will work good for school and home and you can play movies on it ... My son also plays mindcraft on it and it works very well

In my opinion it would not make a good pack pack for school. There are many others out there that are less expensive and lighter weight.

I have only owned this bed less than a year and it is used in a guest room, but it has actually gotten a fair amount of use from a few of my adult kids and so far is holding up well. College students can be rough on furniture, but if he treats it well and doesn't move too much he should be fine. I think it is a lovely bed frame.

I would not recommend this for anything to extensive, so if your majoring in something with big text books(biology, chemistry, physics etc. etc.) and you have a laptop, and other school stuff I would say no don't buy it. If you need a bag for light use with maybe an Ipad and a few notebooks and paperbacks or small text books to read then it's ok. It's not terrible but not great either.

I think it would be fine for both purposes. Sure you would be carrying around a slightly larger pack for college than some other folks, but then you would already have a great pack for traveling that can be used as a carry-on bag.

Yes. My daughter uses it for college and it seems to be a good size for her. She has a Mac.
