Jai,
Good luck -- you are getting great advice here. If taken on quite a big/complex project, especially if you don't have a lot of Drupal experience.
Given how complex the project is, I'd recommend developing a plan for functionality roll-out in such a way that you you can launch without the use of Organic Groups. I'm not criticizing OG. Bu it adds significant complexity to the site -- demanding signfificant learning curve for admins and users alike.
It would be better, in my opinion, if both you and your users could have more experience with the new site before adding OG. Maybe it is an absolute requirement --- but if not, I think you'll have better luck (and more fun!) adding complexity over time instead of up front.
best,

Also I am looking for a way there so that I could list each user's space with a URL like "http://collegedomain/studentpages/studentname".
I would use pathauto for that: http://drupal.org/project/pathauto
Another module that might help you out is: http://drupal.org/project/me
