This is completely dependant on *which* University you're talking about - I
worked in the University of Michigan until '96, and when I left they had
just finished contruction on a four-story Engineering Library/Computing
center.  The typical computer in a lab anywhere around campus was a
PowerMac or a Pentium, and a handful of engineering labs stocked with
Sparc10 workstations.

That's certainly as above normal as your example was below... My guess as
to the typical student's available computer right this moment: a low-end
Pentium, or the equivalent Mac.
