Go look on ebay for older Dell XPS line, Lenovo X1 carbon line, surface pros, etc

They can be checked out through the library. There are also computer labs all over campus. Otherwise, a Chromebook is a cheap option.

What are you (or they) using it to do and what’s the budget?

I have an XPS 15 9560 and it’s great except for the wireless card. WiFi regularly drops in and out, and no amount of updating or rolling back the driver helps. That’s my only complaint

That should be an easy fix, well upgrade rather, at least

You can get her a solid machine in that price range. I would recommend a 13" screen over a 15" because it's way easier to fit in bags and things to carry around.
The most important things for general use such as web browsing, streaming music, and word processing are going to be an SSD hard drive and at least 8 GB of ram.
Option 1
Option 2
Both of these are in your price range and would work fine for a normal college student. She will have access to a lot of computers on campus if she needs anything to do some serious computing on (depending on her major, she may never need this).
If you want to max out your budget, the Surface that CAD recommended is hard to beat at that price.
