to get through school, doing stuff like word processing, spreadsheets, storing photos & music, putting class notes on, etc, Id say sure get a mac.

if you know what your major is going to be, maybe check out what kinds of software/os' the field uses. for example, im in the publishing field, and mac's are the industry standard platform. from typesetting to preflighting to printing, its a mac workflow (everythings done on macs, well 95%). at home i have a pc, and i have software that i use at work on it, one is quarkxpress. but the keyboard shortcut keys and other important commands are different on the mac, so it can screw you up if say, youre on a job interview and dont know the keyboard shortcuts/commands by heart.
