Part of it’s peace of mind - not a VT parent so it may be different there, but neither of my kids’ schools provided loaners if the computer wasn’t purchased through the school. They are also far from home without cars. My daughter’s laptop died at 3 am and she had a final at 9am the next morning that required a laptop. Especially considering the loaners have all the necessary programs preloaded. Schools all seem to have their own flavor of random programs - it’s definitely not enough to show up with standard programs from Best Buy) -it was worth the upcharge to us.
