I mean, yeah, it’s useful for computer science students, but remember that just about everyone has to do things like write papers. If you don’t have a computer, you’re stuck doing everything in a computer lab somewhere.
Not to mention spreadsheets for various fields, a bunch of engineering stuff. Email is a common communication mechanism. College dorms were one place where you were likely gonna have fast Internet access.
There was a point when laptops were uncommon, and a point prior to that when they didn’t exist.

When I went to college, 100% of students had PCs, and almost nobody had a laptop.
By my last year, there were more laptops around.
