I had one of each in college, Freshman/sophmore year had a desktop and junior/senior year had a laptop. I would recommend checking to see what the theft rate for laptops is at the college is. They usually have a good idea on this. If it's fairly low I would highly recommend going with a laptop. It's great because you can take all your notes for class on it, save all your reports on it & take it with you everywhere. If you need to go home over a break and still have work to do you have it with you.
I would recommend a lock of some type to prevent theft.
