Answer
I would suggest a MacBook. Being the latest, fastest, and most powerful notebook in the generations of iBooks, they are pretty much all you need! And they have have a built-in AirPort chip, so you can connect to wireless internet at the college if it has a wireless network.
That's what I did, because I'm going to college in the fall and the MacBook looked like the perfect computer! Also, from my own experience (I have the white 13"), a MacBook is remarkably lightweight! It's lighter than a normal textbook! Also, the whole thing is just an inch thick! I really enjoy using the keyboard, too. The MacBook keyboard has an neat, genius simple style, and is easy to get used to!
I remember a long time ago, when I used to use my dad's Toshiba (Windows) laptop. I couldn't stand using the keyboard! Not only did it have a light touch, but for some reason just lying my hands over the keyboard drained the energy out of my hands! I don't know why my hands felt so tired, but maybe it was because of some kind of electricity leaking out of the keyboard and into my hands. Anyway, MacBooks are not like that! Very ergonomic!
MacBooks also have a great battery life and efficiency. Except when I have my high speed wireless internet turned on, it seems to decrease the battery life. Battery life length also depends on what/how much you're doing on your laptop. You should keep this in mind if you plan to use it wirelessly around campus. For example, turn AirPort off when you're not using the internet. Also, plug in the MacBook before you go to bed to make sure it has 100% battery power the next day for college. Of course, when you run out of battery power, you can always plug it in somewhere.
You had better get a protective case for your MacBook (or any other laptop) if you plan on taking it to college, or even out of the house for that matter! The best notebook case I've found so far for Apple notebooks is this one:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/1.RSLID?mco=891A0F0F&nplm=TF770LL%2FA
It's on my birthday list! ^_^ Just look at all the great customer reviews!
Also, since you're a college student, you are eligible for a free iPod nano if you buy a Mac! Go here:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/6.RSLID?mco=E998F304&nclm=BackToSchool2006
I took the offer, since I am a college student, and got the new iPod nano! But you have to hurry because it says the offer ends Sept. 16!
I also got a free printer (a really good one too!) but I'm not sure if that offer has passed or not.
Good luck! ;-)

Answer
for your needs i would get a basic laptop.i am in environmental science and i use basic laptop, it not only runs office and other basic things but i can play some games like civilization 5. dont buy more than you need,its like a car.if you buy power windows and other things that can be one manually,the more likely something is to go wrong with the car.same goes for a computer. and dont buy a laptop without a dvd drive. thats what an ultrabook is. i have needed my dvd drive a fw times over the last two years for classes. so get a regular laptop. i am gonna recommend this one.it has a basic lower end processor. it iwll work with some games likes sims 3,but the advantages are that it has long battery life and produces lower heat stress. by charging your battery less,it will last longer becuase batteries have a set number of times thay can be charged before they die. contact me if you need more help. jdbj32m@yahoo.com
