It has been a decade since I was in this same position, but at that time the universities my sons attended both encouraged Windows machines over Mac - and Linux wasn't even a dream yet. I found that the schools have IT Departments that will repair/debug machines for the students, and it was the lack of familiarity with Mac machines (and/or lack of Mac drivers for all on-campus peripherals) that placed them on the "Your student will be responsible for locating their own computer support if their non-Windows machine does not connect to our network or printers correctly" list.
My oldest son told me last week that he just replaced his old IBM laptop (purchased used with 3 year factory warranty in 2004 for a geat price!) with a new Lenova. Incredible specifications and the price was around $1200 after all his "bells and whistles" add-ons.
