He might end up with two monitors which could be very handy for editing.

Oh my God, yes it is. This semester was the first semester I was allowed to work on the two-monitor workstations at school (as an Edit II student; in Edit I we had to use single-monitor workstations),

And will you have three monitors when you get to Edit III, and so on up the line? ;-)

Well, actually, we use three monitors in Edit II - two computer monitors, and one CRT (like these) that's tied to the timeline while you're editing or the input while you're capturing. I only ever use it to preview a complete cut, though; it's much easier to look at the source/record monitors on the computer screen while editing.
