How would you like a new iPhone with your college acceptance letter?

“Well, I definitely wouldn’t say no,” said New York University freshman Jenna Miller.

Some college students will be enjoying that perk as part of Apple’s new “iPhone University” initiative, which aims to provide Apple products, especially iPhones and iPods, to all college students.

So far, two universities — Abilene Christian and Oklahoma Christian — have signed up to participate in this program, but pilot programs at Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Yale universities have been under way for six months.

At ACU, incoming freshmen will receive either an iPhone or iPod Touch to organize their academic and personal lives. The Texas university has already developed more than 15 web applications to accompany the new technology, including homework alerts, in-class participation programs, on-campus maps and payment tracking services, according to a statement from ACU Chief Information Officer Kevin Roberts.

But these gadgets don’t come for free; students will be responsible for paying usage fees associated with the iPhone.

OCU announced its decision to participate in a similar program last week. Previously, OCU provided its students and faculty with PCs. New freshmen will now receive MacBooks and a choice between an iPhone or iPod Touch. Older students will have the option to upgrade to the MacBooks, paying a modest one-time upgrade fee, said OCU Chief Technology Officer John Hermes.

The cost of the new initiative at OCU is covered by a technology fee built into students’ tuition, Hermes explained.
