I'd recommend you get the type that is predominantly used by your school. At mine, we use Macs, so many of our students use Macs - but we have both in our labs. Also, it might depend on your major. If you do lots of graphic art, then I'd get a Mac, if you do lots of statistics, then a PC might run more of the programs you need. If you just want ease of use, I'd get a Mac, but if you are used to a PC, then that's the way to go.....
