Back when I did my degree in the mid-90's, our labs were running a mix of LC III, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, the recent Windows 95 and terminals for the DG/UX server.
The only classes using UNIX were the ones specific about UNIX content.
A the end of the 5 years, the DG/UX server had been replaced by a Red-Hat one and most terminals, were dual booting between the university own distribution and Win95/95 OSR, some of us also had access to the freshly released Windows NT.
The large majority of students was still only booting into GNU/Linux for the UNIX related labs.
Anything related to graphics programming, Smalltalk, databases, AI, engineering tools (UML, Boochs, CASE), digital circuits, was done on Windows/Mac OS (System).
