I've been using this one. Works great in the couple weeks I've had it. And it's not tiny, so easy to keep track of.
I have this
Depends on her major. Either way, portability is key.
Engineering benefits from decently powerful Windows machine, except computer/software engineering, which benefits from Mac. I have a pricey Dell XPS 15 which is highly powerful and quite nice.
Defer to her judgement for other majors. Personally I loved my Mac and found it to be *much* more convenient for most use around campus. WiFi connected faster, it went to sleep and woke up faster, it was super easy to drop files to my friends, etc. The one downside is Microsoft Powerpoint is worse on Mac. A MacBook Pro is probably better than a MacBook Air, but someone else can comment on that. Annoyingly, all Apple laptops have now gone all in on USB-C, which means she needs an adapter for ordinary USB ports. Pick up a USB C to USB 3.0 Hub (like this, which includes ethernet, VGA, HDMI, etc) and a dual mode USB C/3.0 flash drive for her. Finally, Apple gives decent education discounts (see here). You can use this discount at the Apple Store at the Mall of Louisiana. Most accessories are best purchased online, not in store. Apple Care is not a bad idea.
By the way, she gets free Microsoft Office through LSU. Don't buy software for her until she's sure it isn't in the software store (TigerWare)
Before she asks or a sales person suggests, she probably doesn't need an iPad or a new phone for college. If anything, consider getting her a second monitor for her room (they're cheap--like this) and can do double duty for streaming Netflix if she's in a dorm. They're nice when you need to multitask (have notes open while researching), or have your online textbook open on one screen while your homework is on the other, etc)
I've used a thumb drive with my phone to transfer some things, and it's worked perfectly fine so far. I specifically got a dual USB-C/USB-A thumb drive as my laptop still uses USB-A and can transfer files, uncompressed photos, and videos to my laptop and not have it clog up my phone's storage. Specifically, I got the below thumb drive. I haven't used it a ton yet as I'm coming from a 32 GB phone and am not in danger of going over my storage, but I wanted to get it as I plan on taking a lot more photos with this phone.
EDIT: forgot to include the link to the thumb drive https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EZ0X3L8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1
is the dongle anything more than a usb-c thumb drive? any chance in grabbing something like this and using it for Atmosphere once it's released? granted it's not much cheaper (unless you go with the 32gb) and will require some configuration, but it does have the added convenience of a usb 3.0 connector as well as the ability to be used as a normal everyday thumb drive.
forgive me if i'm way off. i'm more of a tutorial follower than having any real knowledge about this kind of stuff.

Indeed. I have a 64GB one of these. It's nifty because in an accident I could pull it out and immediately plug it into my Pixel to view footage. Any type-c phone should be able to do that. I don't doubt that there are other similar flash drives with Micro-USB and perhaps even Lightning.
[Here's one that has both type c and 3 on one flash drive] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EZ0X3L8/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1477971614&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bflash%2Bdrive&dpPl=1&dpID=31Za%2B4rX2WL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1)
Want to see something cool?
A USB C and USB A flash drive. It's $17 for 64GB. If you're on a train or a plane, it won't affect you having a flash drive hanging out of your phone.
Problem solved.
I picked this up since I have ordered the new MBP. This seems to be the perfect drive for this transitionary period, as it allows for interfacing with USB-A.
You're right that the options for everything are rather sparse. This is the pain of being an early adopter. The market will follow Apple though, and there will be more options sooner rather than later because of them.
