I really haven't seen a difference on campus between the PC's and Macs when it comes to Adobe Software. Honestly, the biggest positive for using a Mac on campus is that every Mac has a wide screen monitor (nice ones too for the graphical design or two for video editing ones) while the PC's only have a 19" 4:3 LCD. Then again, the Macs have a larger emphasis on adobe software and the like so the PC's with adobe software are the ones for business classes and such.
When it comes to usability on campus, I much prefer the PC's when it comes to doing graphical design stuff. Messing with open windows with the F keys is cool, but I dislike the keyboards and I really hate the Mac mice, I'd rather bring my own mouse to class than use a Mac mouse. People say that Mac is the best thing for stuff like graphical design, but my experience leads me to differ unless there is something I don't know about. In fact, I'd say that you can do similar things, it's just you have to do them a little differently.
When it comes to my PC, gaming is the biggest thing so it's no contest for me. I'm not sure how somebody can say a Mac isn't expensive because building your own PC is nothing compared to the cost of a Mac.
