Same is true for almost any OS available today. They will not know the difference. They *might* have some websites for which only IE works properly. That is the one place I can see where you might have trouble. So get a copy of crossover office, or dual boot your machine.
If they use POP3 for email, they support Linux. They can send and receive email to-from you and nobody will be the wiser.
If they use .DOC, .XLS, .PPT, etc., then they can't tell the difference between a document authored in OpenOffice and Microsoft Office either.
"Officially supporting" means they'll do tech support for you if you have trouble. If you can use Linux today, you can use it on campus, and nobody will know the difference. If you can't, or don't want to, then the only point of you participating in this discussion is to troll. What are you trying to achieve?
What list? I looked through the posts to this thread and didn't see one. I saw a link to a website that prompts for what state I want to look at. I have no idea what state you are looking at.
Perhaps. However, if you are competent to run a Linux box on your desktop or notebook, than you can use it at any college you get admitted to and nobody will ever know the difference.
