Students for Bloomberg

As any money manager will tell you, the Bloomberg computer terminal is an essential tool for buying and selling securities.

In addition to timely business news, the terminal provides access to a wide variety of tools for analyzing all kinds of stocks, bonds and other investments. It even has its own custom keyboard that requires extensive training.

That's why Florida Gulf Coast University recently acquired a Bloomberg terminal for its finance students. The machine comes at a steep price: $25,000.
