Orientation | Computing at BU/CELOP

You will have access to many computers at CELOP. Although we have mostly Macintosh computers in our labs, we also fully support your Windows PC. You can use your own computer at CELOP, in the dorms, or in your apartment in Boston.

 

	International Calling. We have set up in our computer labs applications to make free or very inexpensive international calls from the computer using Skpe, MSN, iChat, and Yahoo Messenger. See MLL staff when you arrive at CELOP or read our orientation material on Skype.
