I bet these students - like 99.9% of all film students - would say that real films are edited with Avid. Many would think that it is good news that some indie films are edited on Premiere. It makes them think that they have a chance to seem professional if they know Premiere.
I don't know of any sign that Apple think it is a good idea for people at university or film school to learn Apple’s own Final Cut Pro video editing application. I suppose they hope that the influence of YouTubers will prompt film students to want to use it to make 'real films.'
If Apple don't think it is worth persuading people to use Final Cut, why should anyone else?

I use final cut and I work at a television station. Our company owns stations all across the US and they all use final cut. I was actually taught on both FCP X and a Premiere in school and have never once used avid.
