Well....iWork's Keynote is FAR superior to powerpoint, but Numbers and Pages are not up to the spec of MS Office. I'd say just get MS Office. Number, in particular, lacks some essential regression functions. Also, Pages can be quite frustrating sometimes.

MS Office is your best bet.

You should get Office, sadly. Teachers will expect you to have Microsoft Word, and Pages isn't really the same.

Office 2008 for Mac - Home and Student Edition costs about $130 online.

I bought Office 2004 for Mac because I've heard bad things about 2008. I got it new for $115 online.
