About Residential Computing
Residential Computing Mission Statement
Residential Computing supports broadband, reliable network connections throughout the residence halls, including wireless connectivity in dining facilities and many common study areas. Our staff provides knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive technical support to our residential clients for their network connections and cable TV service.
Our customers include undergraduate students, graduate students, family housing, live-in faculty, and conference guests. Our primary goal is to ensure that our clients can fully utilize network resources for their academic and personal needs through our In-Room Connection program and our Computing Centers. We ensure that our clients' needs are met by using timely phone, email, and web-based systems to provide accessible support.
We ensure that all computers connected to the network meet campus minimum security standards, and we educate all residents about bandwidth limitations and encourage them to utilize legal filesharing services. We provide our clients with general technical support and education in computer technology through our pool of on-site student consultants and extensive online documentation.
The Staff
ResComp is fully staffed by UC Berkeley students. Our employees are a diverse and professional group dedicated to serving residents and their needs.
Our Work
As a service to people in other ResComp departments from other colleges & universities, others in organizations that deal with computer networking, and those who are curious about our inner workings, we have made available our internal documentation and project summaries.
Residential Computing is a dynamic workplace where students gain real-life work experience dealing with the same issues they face after graduation. We feature a fun-loving and relaxed atmosphere with challenges and valuable experiences. Click here to learn more about working with us.
