    You can get Matlab for Mac, but Matlab for Windows will not work natively in OS X. You could always Parallels/VMWare/Boot Camp it.

    Yes, there is a Matlab for OS X, but beware that not all of the features work 100%. You'll probably want to use Windows for programming also to make sure everything is compatible.

    I had a lot of issues going between the two OS's, especially when working with GUIDE.

    I have taken a few matlab classes, with no problems.

    Matlab programming works fine in osx. Just make sure that your school has the means of providing the osx installer and license.
