I'm very surprised you HAVE to use MS Office at University. Surely
as long as your submissions are in the correct format, the
University shouldn't give a damn what software you use

Not true at all in the real world, due to not absolutely perfect
compatibility (which is impossible to achieve). See what I wrote about
the "educator" quoted in the recent Microsoft video:

the part that proves that (unfortunately, of course), you should not
be surprised if students have problems to use OOo at home, starts at
item 3 of the list: "Schools often help to enforce this dependency"
and more info is 2 paragraphs below.
