Does anybody know if the discount varies from school to school? Do private art schools get larger discounts?
Depends on the level of your study e.g. university student gets better discount than college.
Some schools have their own "Apple Shop" where they sell Macs for better prices than Apples' are. This is because they buy bigger quantities so they get bigger discounts from Apple and can then give bigger discounts to their students. They are usually limited to only couple of models (e.g. only low-end 13" MBP and low-end 15" MBP) and often bundled with AppleCare.

Nope. The education discount is universal, and is the same between faculty, staff, and students of educational institutions on all levels. It's not a percentage based discount.
Can't verify professions but here in Canada, regardless if you're in university or College, the discount is the same. Probably is too for profession as Apple rarely favors a specific group.
FWIW, in the US, some educational "institutions" have "Custom Apple Stores" that give larger discounts to its students than Apple gives to educational customers at its stores (online or retail).Nope.

Not exactly true...certain schools have deeper discounts. Nipissing for example offers a deeper discount to B.Ed. students, which you need to access through their web portal.
Exactly how are these students getting the computers? Through Apple or the school? If it's from the school, that's a totally different discussion. I was under the impression that the OP was referring to discounts through Apple and it's stores and if that's what he's referring to, the discount through Apple is no different at University of Toronto than it is at Nipissing.
Not trying to sound rude, but you are wrong. This is through the Apple store. You need to have a signed in session through Nipissing's portal in order to access their version of the Apple store.
