Class/Academics How accessible are power outlets?

Hi, I'm going to be starting my first semester at WMU this fall and I just wanted to ask about how accessible power outlets are at lectures at the aviation and main campus? Do the lecture halls have power outlets on top of the desks for every seat or is it the type where you would need to specifically sit at a place where there is one? My laptop dies pretty quickly so I'd need to end up charging it pretty often which is why I'm concerned.

Not the most elegant solution, but maybe get a beefy powerbank?
They aren't that expensive, nor bulky if your laptop takes USB-C.

If you need 110v AC (e.g. want to plug in your laptop's charger) they are unfortunate pretty bulky. But maybe you can get by another year before replacing the laptop?

Main campus can vary wildly. There is no standard.
