10. The University of Richmond
At this private university located in the capital of Virginia, there’s a computer for every three students, and 85 percent of the university’s courses have an online component. Every room on campus is wired for internet access, according to Unigo.
9. Harvey Mudd College
This tiny college in Claremont, Cal., has only 800 students, but it is part of a larger collective of tech-savvy schools called the Claremont Colleges consortium — a group of five colleges that share resources and are within walking distance of each other. Computer science is an important major at Harvey Mudd, and those students participate in a year-long capstone project called the “Clinic,” in which they must create their own software projects.
8. Wake Forest University
Boasting a computer-to-student ratio twice as high as nearly every other college on Unigo’s list, Wake Forest University has 1.09 computers for every student. The university also has its own app called “Wake Forest Campus Life.”
7. Denison University
A private university in Ohio that has its own 550 acre biological reserve, Denison University uses technology to stay green. “All campus printers default to printing double sides, and they have taken the initiative to recycle computer components, printer cartridges, and toner,” Unigo notes.
6. Carnegie Mellon University
This private research university has more start-ups created per research dollar than any other university in the country. And it’s been that way since 2007. Carnegie Mellon also offers a Master of Science in Information Technology entirely through a distance education program, and is famous for being the home of Manuela “Robot Master” Veloso, a professor there and the creator of the Robocup.
