With a MB / MBP, you can install Windows via bootcamp (for best performance) which comes pre-installed with OS X Leopard. Then, whenever you want to boot into Windows restart the MB / MBP holding down 'alt' during startup. You will then be presented with an option to boot Windows or OS X.

You can also install virtualisation programmes (which don't run as well) such as VMWare which means you can run Windows as you would run a programme in the OS X normal setting. You literally have a window which opens up to show you Windows OS.

You can get Kensington key-locks which can be used with MB / MBP's however I'm not sure what you could attach it to on your desk (remembering that it's gonna be a Uni desk belonging not to you!!!)
