I'd go with the laptop as well, if she's not some sort of computer-related major. I'm a Computer-Aided Design major, so I have a desktop, because I have a lot of software that I need to have on mine, and I don't need to take it with me anywhere.
So, unless she's like me, she'd undoubtably prefer a laptop, most people I know seem to. Even if they don't lug it around campus all the time, if a situation arises where they'd want to, they have the option to do so.
