I believe many universities are opting to direct their students to the Apple Store. If you go to the Apple Educational Store you'll see that regular students can now purchase from it and that Apple has individual arrangements (pricing can actually vary between universities even though the purchase is being made through the Apple Store) with scores of schools. Also look at Macintouch from yesterday or the day before for a short discussion about this. Seems like a good idea if Apple can get them out the door quickly.

"Do university students buy their Imacs locally; or are there special arrangements made directly
with apple distributors for the schools"

At most schools, there is a special (I've been to two, and they were both privately operated) computer store that offers student and faculty discount.

There are special mail-order places that handle educational discounts, and MacWarehouse puts out a separate Educational Warehouse catalog.
