Labs aren't a great solution, either. Do you really want to have to leave the comfort of your own room to do homework? When I was in school, the lab was a great place to do homework because you could bounce ideas off your peers. Our labs might have been different thought; we had a Linux cluster where the CS students hung out. The fact that the computers ran Linux was enough to keep most non-CS majors away, so you could ask anyone in the cluster something about CS and be pretty sure they'd be able to help.
