If you have a computer it is not necessary to purchase another one. If you are thinking about buying a computer, wait until your sophomore or junior year, that way your computer won't be "old" when you leave school. If you just can't wait then buy the fastest CPU with as much RAM memory you can afford.
We primarily use Adobe Software (Creative Suite). There are discounts online that save students up to 80% off retail prices.
