Maybe as a freshman you don't need it in class, but once you're an upperclassman (and especially a grad student) you have time between your classes when it's useful to complete classwork/projects while on campus. I don't know about other universities, but when I left UF they were transitioning their general engineering computer lab from having desktops students can use to being a portal where students bring their own laptops in and connect.
