At Princeton 40 percent of students and faculty are currently using a Mac as their personal computer as compared to only 10% of Mac users on campus 4 years ago . A similar trend is seen at many other colleges: Dartmouth is up to 55% freshman with Macs (up from 30% in 2005), University of Virginia with 20% of freshman with Macs (up from 17% in 2006), and Cornell with 21% dorm network users with a Mac (up from 5% between 2000-2002).
The reasons for increased Mac sales appear to be the popularity of the iPod, security of Mac OS X, design and ease of use.
