Word processing

FaceBook

Taking funny pictures

NikeTalk

On the side note, if you buy a MacBook now, you get a free iPod touch at the Apple store, so jump on that.

This.
Unless your doing like a certain major that requires a lot computer use, I'd say just get the basic 13-inch Macbook (or PC hehehe).

I would buy the Macbook Pro though, when I entered college the Pro was only like $100 extra. 

You can also switch the free iPod Touch for a discount on an iPod Classic or an iPad.

I also got a free printer with my Mac.

I would definitely go for the 13" MB Pro. That's what I did when I started college two years ago. The only way I would buy a pc is if you are a finance major and have to do a lot of excel work, or you can just run MS on your mac.

Also make sure you can figure out the MacOS before you dive into school without MS Workshops and no idea how to use the track pad.
You should be gravy doe.

Im a dj and I like the screens to be big so I got the 15 inch. I love it. A lot of djs have a 13" and I constantly see them squinting their eyes or being extremely close to the screen. No Bueno. For the 15", some people might complain of the weight but whatever. Deal with it.

Get the 13 inch one if its just for schooling and upgrade its processor to the i7 Core and buy the extra RAM from a 3rd party. If you really want to get the best buy change the HD to a SSD. Those would be the only upgrades I would do.
