Google Docs.
You can always save to Office format files (.xls(x), .doc(x)) if you need to, and they can open those formats too and they handle 99% of the use cases you got.

Yes. Everyone has moved on to LibreOffice.
There is no good reason to recommend OpenOffice considering how much development has went in LibreOffice.
I apologize for confusion.
It's not see, it's 100% free as long you can have an educational email address.
Hmmm I actually do have a college email I'll just see if that works. Does the email have to be active?
Microsoft Word 2013's default font is Calibri. Calibri font is not open source, but Libre Office has Carlito font which is metrically compatible with Calibri. Your Word documents using Calibri Font should look and be formatted correctly using Libre Office and Carlito.
However, if you have a Libre Office document using Carlito font, then try to open it in Word you might have some issues. Word doesn't know that it's suppose to use Calibri font when it sees Carlito font. The best way to ensure compatibility is use a font available in both Word and Libre Office- like Arial or Times New Roman. You can find ways to add Calibri font to Libre Office, but since it's not open source that becomes pirating.

Can't you just buy it outright? I was considering it buying at some point too because I had the money and felt I should have it, just in case. But then I found out about the Home Use Program and bought it for super cheap.
