Some campuses have a distinct bias toward one platform, though most seem agnostic.
Both my sons have Mac laptops at UC Berkeley and seem to fit in just fine. Windows software is not an issue as you can do everything on the included Mac software package, although Son#1 prefers Word over Pages. All communication is through a browser and IP connection and most like Safari or Firefox over Explorer.
The transition to Mac OS is easy. I see little need for BootCamp. The built-in iSight camera is kinda cool and seems much more useful than a fingerprint reader. The UCLA Bookstore price for the MacBook is $1050. It usually works out cheaper to get it out-of-state mail order store (without sales tax) and they sometimes throw in a RAM chip.
