Here at Copenhagen University Mac to PC is 50/50.
I would highly recommend a 13" Macbook Air for studies. It is light which is a BIG plus as a student (believe me!), much better to write on than an iPad, and for any fast figure drawing she can use paper, and then later the Macbook. No need at all for a Mabook Pro, and unless you upgrade a MBP to an SSD, then the MBA would be faster in most cases anyway, for her uses.
A tablet or color-fancy-future-ebook in the future when she really starts reading scientific material, if needed. (Couch reading
)
