Apple offer great student discounts. :) That aside it depends on what department/college you are in. Graphics/Liberal arts orient tend to have Macintosh, Engineering/Hard science tend to have PCs.
Probably the 'cool factor'. MAC come out with laptops of different colors and designs before PC laptop manufacturer did. They do make angelic machines.. they're just too expensive for my taste, for what you get, and after there are the software limitations to consider.
Students may choose any computer they approaching. They are not forced to use a special brand or os by their employer.
