"state of the art technology tools" xD

[kcorp2003]

that's shark bait for senior guys to pick out freshman girls in a crowd.

While the Lumia 900 is nice, WP8 will be released a month later, and all these freshmen will be stuck with WP7.5...

 

[Guest]

But they'll be outdated by October when Apollo comes out, no? Maybe this is a good omen for the upgradeability of the Lumia 900 after all...

@darkchazz
Although the Lumia 900 is not running Android does not mean it is a poor choice. I would recommend the Lumia over both the OneX and Galaxy S3

well that's the only way to enlarge the user base

I would be sooo thrilled to have a 500dollar phone built into my tuition with a 6 month plan before it becomes a useless brick or a 100$ monthly expense.

Sounds like a must have for every college student...

oh lets not forget a macbook DjScribbles!

and an orange lumia case to match the Jeresy skintone

Nokia and Windows Phone team: "C'mon, guys! Will anyone buy our phone? No? What if we give it to you for free? Then will you love us?! No? Ok..."

Already included in your tuition.

Of course at a one year (two Semester) tuition of $32,700 I'm glad they didn't use the word FREE. In fact I wonder why, at that tuition rate, it wasn't a pricy app-loaded iPhone.

Sweet deal.

I'm a SHU alum. This isn't new for SHU. They were one of the first with providing laptops for every student. But let's get one thing straight:

The phone ain't free.

SHU charged me $2k, MANDATORY, per semester (so $4k) for a crappy* laptop. And that's each year. So for $16k I coulda gotten one hell of a laptop. Instead, each year it was shit, and you only got 1 refresh. It you chose a second refresh, you didn't get to keep it (yea $8k and it was taken away from you) and had to return it. So I was left with a $8k laptop, that again, was shitty.

Nevermind the fact that SHU is absolutely notorious for nickel and diming you. $250 per semester for parking--nevermind that they never had enough spaces. So that $250 25% of the time got you parking in the ghetto where annual 4 students are robbed at gunpoint. And then they give you bullshit $50 tickets left and right.

Kids, anyone who is reading this, stay very far away from SHU. A Lumia 900 isn't worth it. Go to rutgers where the tuition is cheap, the parties are plenty (SHU had NOTHING), and the girl are easy. ;-)

* At the time, my crappy laptop had a bootleg celeron IIRC, with only 1 GB RAM and Win ME, when the typical mid-level laptop had WinXP, 2GB RAM. Granted they were ThinkPads, but still.

When i was at university all i got at enrollment was a disposable camera and a packet of condoms.

 

[u_hsen]

they can easily raise their tuition by $500 to compensate and they won't even noticed.

Being a freshman always sucked!
