    One of the schools im going to requires a laptop with an express card slot.

    What should I do if the laptop doesn't have one?

    Almost every newer laptop does, some older ones have PCMCIA.

    Im sure you can get a PCMCIA to Expresscard or USB to Expresscard adapter. ;)

    Like THIS One. ;)
