Q: Required equipment for attendance into private professional school

Student is required to buy a macbook pro with certain characteristics. We decided to buy one in advance for our sun and suddenly realized that they changed their requirements for this year. Information that requirement are changed annually and when was not available neither on school's website nor brochures. Now school requires us to buy new equipment, what rights we have in terms of law?

A: Not much--the school should allow it, but they can change and you can decide not to go there. However if it's a for profit college now is a good time to rethink.
