This includes high speed network access, computer rooms for students, supporting computers in class rooms and auditoria and high quality help.

College of Europe Account for e-mail, storage and printing

All students receive a personal College of Europe account (C Account). This C-Account is linked to a personal e-mail address and mailbox. This mailbox can store up to 50GB of e-mail.

Next to the mailbox, all students receive several places where they can store their personal files such as a folder on the College of Europe servers and access to Microsoft OneDrive. This allows them to keep their files safe and share with other students when necessary.
