Best type of computer for school

Hi Guys. I am starting the second year of the BSN program here in September. I am a mature student so had most of the pre req's from my previous university years. Sadly though, since it's been more than ten years, I have to do A and P again as well as intro micro(even tho I was a micro major lol). My question is this: my school is a windows os environment and I have purchased a Mac Pro retina 15.4 inch laptop. I love it but will I wish I had a PC? I have windows for Mac on boot camp, but I much prefer using the Mac side. What do you all think? I am not exceptionally computer savvy!

Yup. I don't know what boot camp is. I use a Mac with word, pp, excel and once in a blue moon I touch the windows side.

BootCamp allows you to run Windows within the app, so you can remain booted into Mac OS X while running Windows in another program.

Oh okay. I have a different program that does the same thing.

Is there a Microsoft word app for iPads?

I have heard good things about "Documents Free" for iPad and "CloudOn" for iPad. But no, there isn't an actual Office app by Microsoft for iPad, but there're many apps that serve the same purpose and handle Office documents seamlessly.

Don't suppose you could explain how to do that? I have to leave the Mac side to go to the windows side

This is from 2012, but I think it should still be relevant.
