- First of all, Fedora tends to be "bleeding edge" in case this is a
good thing for you.
- It incorporates SELinux, which is, IMHO, a great security tool
- It uses FOSS only for the base installation
- Has a lot of mirrors
- Gives you the ability to make your own repo with supported tools
(which the university will love once it starts saving them bandwith
- Virtualization is the Fedora's second name
- That would make 'Network Install' the third?
- Great Clustering tools (Filesystem, heartbeat, etc) with documentation
(RHEL docs)
- F7 incorporates the great 'Revisor' tool, which let's you customize
your distro... almost Stupid Proof!
- It provides excelent documentation (RHEL Documentation and other
projects work wonders with it)
- It has some nice support sites: fedoraunity.org, fedoraforum.org, etc
- NVidia and ATI driver support (try to coff or something while saying
ATI)
- It can run on 192 mb or ram
- Small distro (on minimum install)
- It updates the kernel fairly often (better performance and stuff)
- It automounts everything you put into it!... almost
- Has some neat artwork? (try that on the artistic department)
- It offers most tools students need (OOo, some cientific tools, etc)

I think your best shot are documentation & support available,
virtualization, clustering, revisor and repo tools.
