iWork does the job but it is missing some key features that you would probably need for schools. If your school offers MS for a good price might as well go for it. No real replacement for Word or Excel, again iWork gets close, but not close enough.
For your college work I'm afraid that Word is a must have....iwork and Pages just won't cut it....An expensive but required application, although you should qualify for a student discount. Buy the student version...MS hardly even check these days, and even if they do ask for proof, just get the slip signed by the college admins...They stamp it, you save.
How much is it without the discount on the app store do you know?
Havent got my macbook yet
From the Apple store:

If you are quick, you may be able to add it to your order..
Remember that Outlook is not included in the cheap versions...If you just want Word, Excel and Powerpoint then the £75 version is fine....And FWIW Outlook is full of bugs on the Mac....If you don't need it as an email client buy the cheaper offering.
