I purchased a mid-range Vostro for my freshman this summer. Besides the price, I liked the fact that it came without all the junkware.
Bought her Office, anti-virus software and some peripherals at discounted prices through the school. I already had a file transfer application from when I last bought a desktop, so there was no trouble transferring her all-important i-tunes files.
It's been problem-free so far. She did need to recruit a (male) physics major to help her get hooked up to the dorm's wireless network, but I'm fairly certain that had nothing to do with the computer.
The one upgrade from the base configuration you might consider is bumping up to 2GB memory.
