Note: indoor flight or operation by persons under 18 years of age is NOT recommended.
- With a maximum horizontal speed of 22 miles/hour (10 meters/second), the Phantom lets you capture the action of almost any sport, event or scene.
- The Phantom's high tech Naza-M autopilot system lets you configure advanced parameters via software (USB port and separate download required).

Depends on her major. Either way, portability is key.
Engineering benefits from decently powerful Windows machine, except computer/software engineering, which benefits from Mac. I have a pricey Dell XPS 15 which is highly powerful and quite nice.
Defer to her judgement for other majors. Personally I loved my Mac and found it to be *much* more convenient for most use around campus. WiFi connected faster, it went to sleep and woke up faster, it was super easy to drop files to my friends, etc. The one downside is Microsoft Powerpoint is worse on Mac. A MacBook Pro is probably better than a MacBook Air, but someone else can comment on that. Annoyingly, all Apple laptops have now gone all in on USB-C, which means she needs an adapter for ordinary USB ports. Pick up a USB C to USB 3.0 Hub (like this, which includes ethernet, VGA, HDMI, etc) and a dual mode USB C/3.0 flash drive for her. Finally, Apple gives decent education discounts (see here). You can use this discount at the Apple Store at the Mall of Louisiana. Most accessories are best purchased online, not in store. Apple Care is not a bad idea.
By the way, she gets free Microsoft Office through LSU. Don't buy software for her until she's sure it isn't in the software store (TigerWare)
Before she asks or a sales person suggests, she probably doesn't need an iPad or a new phone for college. If anything, consider getting her a second monitor for her room (they're cheap--like this) and can do double duty for streaming Netflix if she's in a dorm. They're nice when you need to multitask (have notes open while researching), or have your online textbook open on one screen while your homework is on the other, etc)
I had a Swiss Gear backpack that looked like this that was great. Used it all through college and never had any problems with it.
Edit: I think this is actually exactly what I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005FN5DJA/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1527102574&sr=8-15&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=swiss+gear+laptop+backpack
Kinda pricey for a backpack, but it’s lasted me a long time now and is totally worth it. I still use it when I fly or go on trips
You can buy Velcro Command strips, they don't hurt paint and they hold well. You'll probably need enough for 4 corners.

Is it the black and white photo course? If so, you'll need a fully manual 35-mm camera. I got this one when I took the course in 2012. The instructor should have a list of what you need and where to get it on the syllabus.
I would say if you're looking at first gen Phantoms go with the one without a camera like the one here. However, the first gen Phantoms only get about 10 min flight time with GoPro, gimbal, etc. attached so if you're looking for longer flight times (~20-30 min) then the Phantom 2 would be the way to go. Of course you'll have to pay a bit more for the newer model.
