what do you study in? Depending of your field, you might have to run some software on a specific OS[windows], rendering a bootcamped mac worth nothing more than its equivalent PC counterpart spec wise.

Windows has a lot more compatibility with programs more than Mac but then again, Mac is more stable than Windows. You can always boot Windows on a Mac.

Doesn't really matter which one you choose..... a mac is fine, desu. Mac=pc with a different os... and stocked with basic level stuff... unless you buy a better machine... then it the same thing as a comparable pc..., but triple the price.

If you wan't a good computer but happen to be limited on cash, it might help to read the rest of this post.
I'm not sure if this helps, if you want an all-around good windows (or linux) machine for the price, in about a month there's expected to be new AMD processors that have 325% integrated graphics performance over current Intel's offerings that are supposed to be in notebooks and entry-level desktops, so if you wan't to have fun with stuff like gaming or anything else graphical whenever you're not studying, you could get a notebook one of those. Macs are very highly priced for the hardware you pay for and it almost feels like they are stealing from their consumers sometimes, but the OS is very user friendly, the only problem is that the amount of programs tend to be very few compared to Window's offerings; I hear very good things about Macs from those who do something art-related on them though. I would have to advise against getting a computer with Linux for your studies if you aren't familiar with that platform as it has the learning curve for Linux can be a pain in the ass for a lot of people, the upside to Linux is that it has a very high number of free programs (almost ALL of them are free, and the OS distros themselves are too), but again, I would only go that route if you happen to be hurting for cash really badly. Linux is very customizable after you get to know it though.
I suggest you go to stores or friends and play around with their computers before you decide.

Take your syllabi, find the section labeled "required materials", and purchase, either from your campus bookstore or the web, the listed textbooks, and read them. That is the optimum for studying purposes.

I can't believe no one suggested Linux so far, so I will.
a) If you're studying to be a sys-op, programmer or other IT professional
b) If you need an OS with Mac's stability for a "fraction of its price"
c) If you need an OS with Mac's stability but with a waster program palette
d) ...and if you haven't used anything beside Windows, but want to try a Unix type OS
...you might want to try out Ubuntu/Kubuntu.
Just download a live CD/DVD, boot it up and start experimenting. It's free and you can do nowadays a lot of things on Linux you can on Mac or Windows. Even Cory Doctorow was impressed by what Ubuntu offers nowadays and he was (still is) a hardline Mac fanboi.
Granted there *are* other Linux distributions out there. Oh, boy, are there... linux pundits can argue 'til rapture on which distribution is the best (...or which is the best for a given purpose if they're less bigoted). However Ubuntu is a good distro to start with, as it has been tailored for beginners and has very good on-line support.
