Ask your school first. Lenovo Thinkpads are generally solid bets, as are Macbooks.
I concur. Thinkpad or Macbook Pro are the best options in that price range. Either will work well. Thinkpads also play well with Linux (since you mentioned Fedora). I used Ubuntu all through college with no problems (neuroscience major, did research in a lab with a lot of bioengineers).
@nanotechnology went with a Thinkpad T550. thanks for the advice!
