It probably would be, however, it's always a good idea to contact the school you intend to go to and find out their requirements first. You don't want to spend over $2000 on a 17" MBP only to learn the school requires you to have a PC instead. Most colleges don't specify and usually a Mac or PC will be OK, but you never know.....

No serious student of digital media would be using a Windows machine, so I'm not surprised that the college is incorporating Mac OS into the learning.

If you need portability, then a 15" or 17" MacBook Pro is your primary option.
