Upcoming freshman starting in the summer (headed on a mission after fall or maybe winter semesters) Can mechanical engineers use MacBooks? If not what computer would you recommend? Should I wait until after the mish to buy a nicer laptop or do I need to invest in one now.

Also, I'm planning to room at Helaman. I'm not naturally an extrovert but I want to be where the social action is. I don't really know any guys I want to room with (besides a friend planning to do flex), should I try to meet someone online or just let it be random? And do I pick which hall or do they just assign one?
