Wendy asks:

Do most students take laptops to every class, or will I be okay with a desktop computer?

Efrain responds:

Hi Wendy,

I would say most students bring their laptops to SOME of their classes. The laptop can be really useful in the budgeting courses, for example, but they are not as useful in the quantitative courses.

I think you will be ok if you don't have a laptop. You can use the computers in the computer lab all day every day.  I hope this helps!
