At my school we were encouraged to do all the work we could on the computer and we had more than one computer lab in our relatively little school. We certainly had access to a computer whenever we wanted it.
Now, at sixth form college, there are computers in every room with about one computer to every 3 students. Computing and IT classes have dedicated labs. Students are free to use the two general purpose computer labs during the day and in the evening. Generally, when we need a computer we can find one.
This situation is not unusual, there has been a big push in funding for computers in UK schools and as we have to leave school with basic computer skills the teachers must let us use the computers on a regular basis.

And I thought that you hit your computer to take out your frustrations, not to reseat the chips. Silly me.
