I suspect you're right, but does Oracle JDK really add any appreciable value over OpenJDK, for a student?

I'd go for OpenJDK simply to form good habits.

Yea ... and if you do start to build something and decide to release it commercially, you don't want to run into any weird Oracle/OpenJDK weirdness at that point .. so best to start with OpenJDK.
