Not sure what your major is because it matters. As a Psych major, I have been quite happy with my MacBook Pro. Thing thing I like the most is the immediate boot time and compatibility with nearly everyone on campus. I had to laugh out loud during a class that I TA'd for last semester. 80 students in the class and almost every single student had a PC out. 99% of them were some form of Apple notebook. At about $1K each on average, I was staring at about $80,000-$90,000 worth of computers.
As far as printers go, YES, you will want one. Printing at JMU is not cheap. Especially if you have a major/class that requires a lot of research and document printing. Pro tip: Find a printer that they make aftermarket ink for on Amazon, like the Canon MX892 All In One . It's an older printer model but has served me well during school and it works with my Windows PC, my MacBook Pro, and printing PDFs from my Note4. (Note: I looked for it, but they aren't really available anymore. I posted a link to a newer version below.)
Keep in mind that printer failures suck so you'll likely want to go with a good brand. Most of them have gone to chipped cartridges, so finding aftermarket chipped ink on new printer models/ink cartridges may be difficult. For example, the Canon printer that the JMU bookstore sells does not have the aftermarket ink available yet because of a new cartridge design. The cost of the ink for one set is $65+.
The ink from Amazon is about $14 for four full sets of cartridges. It looks just as good and lasts just as long as the Canon name brand for a quarter of the price. It has saved me a ton of money when printing research from home.
Amazon has the Canon Pixma MX992 for $96 with Prime Shipping. HSN.com has it for about $70. I am not sure about the shipping cost.
This printer has aftermarket ink available.
I hope this helps. Good luck in your studies and welcome to JMU.
