To find the number of students expected to prefer computers, we can use the percentage preference for computers shown in the survey.

### Given Information:
- Total number of students in the school: 500
- Percentage of students who prefer computers: 36%

### Solution:
1. Calculate the number of students who prefer computers by applying the percentage to the total student population:
   \[
   \text{Number of students who prefer computers} = 500 \times \frac{36}{100}
   \]
2. Simplify the calculation:
   \[
   = 500 \times 0.36 = 180
   \]

### Answer:
Approximately **180 students** would be expected to prefer computers in a school of 500 students.
