Read/Write Web has a great list of online applications for students. Online applications are generally free (at least for basic service, and upgraded services tend to be cheap), fairly easy to use, and most importantly are available wherever you have access to a computer. Since students tend to move from their dorm room to computer labs to classrooms to friends' dorms to off-campus homes to Internet cafes to their parents' houses and so on, the fact that your work is just a login away wherever you happen to be can be a real help. Here's a tip: many of these services have plugins for Google's iGoogle customizable homepage (as well as for similar services like PageFlakes and NetVibes) so you can construct a single "dashboard" where you can access your documents, your calendar, your notes, and so on.
