Seton Hill University to give all students an iPad
Quote:
Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pennsylvania has announced that starting in Fall, 2010, every full-time student will get an iPad as part of the Seton Hill Griffin (that's the school's mascot) Technology Advantage Program. According to TUAW reader Dirk, who tipped us to this announcement, "Students will be able to download their textbooks to their iPads from the iBook Store. In addition, iPads can be used as phones and for air and file sharing, as well as note-taking."

So it begins... :P

I don't think an iPad is much of an enticement considering what tuition is at Seton Hill. If you can afford to go there, you can afford to buy an iPad. They also get a Macbook but the hitch is students at SH pay a $500 digital convenience fee per semester.

For those that thought, at first glance as I did, that there was a typo and the school mentioned should have been Seton Hall University, there is indeed a Seton Hill University just outside Pittsburgh. It's a small school (less than 2000 total students) and was a womans college until 2001), not to be confused with Seton Hall (just outside New York City with just under 10,000 total students).

Odd are that it is the parents who are paying for the school and you know how crazy people get over free stuff

If, on the other hand, they meant Satan Hill, you don't get a computer at all there. Apparently they just write the lessons on your forehead in letters of fire....
