Google Docs: I've used this a LOT in my Master's degree. I have use this more as a document hosting tool for my portfolio as opposed to a collaborative tool. A lot of my peers have stated that they've enjoyed using it for collaboration. I have found with Google Docs that oftentimes the formatting of documents ends up changing. Saving things as a pdf helped, but then you can't collaborate. It definitely has its pluses and minuses!
Open Office: This was a life-saver when I bought my new computer! I couldn't afford to buy Microsoft Office but was in the middle of my degree and had to write a bunch of papers! I was able to use several of the tools. It was a little hard to get used to at first, but it was really helpful.
