As well as this, some make the students give them back once they
have bought them when they graduate...
Some even go as far as banning non-approved laptops (often anything
except theirs) for fear of "security issues and viruses"...

Yes, except this type of policy seems to be spreading like

Hey, they get them by the truckload for almost nothing and then

students to purchase them for full retail-I should say rent them
for the
small fee of $500 each semester! Just another way for our
Colleges to make
some extra cash, so their Professors won't have to teach more
than two hours
a day.
If you are a lowly Art Student, you then get an iBook for the
same price
and if you don't like it, transfer to another school.
