Education

If the need for a computer is either specified directly or implied indirectly in any one class syllabus, then the cost of a computer would fall into the lab fees category.

Typically, if an educational institution offers the use of a computer lab 24/7, then that would generally nix this. However, now-a-days I am not aware of any college that offers such on a round-the-clock basis.
