Office 365 pro plus(semi annual channel) vs office 2013

[Yongtjunkit]

Hi, I was wondering if I should stick to my own copy of Microsoft Office 2013 home and students or should I use the office 365 pro plus (semi annual ) provided by my college

You can always go back to your copy afterwards. No reason not to give it a try.

How hardcore of an Office user are you? There is very little that Office 363 offers that 2013 doesn't.

I recently just started college guessing the office 365 is provided by college is office 2016? Can’t tell the workload as of now

Which Office is provided by college differs from college to college, so I can't tell you if your college offers 2016, you'd have to ask them

Is this office 2019 ( office 365 pro plus), I've just switched from semi-annual to the monthly channel, previously its on version 1808

It's not "REALLY" 2019. It's Office 365. Which means it's always the latest versions and the 2013, 2016, 2019 versions are just "snapshots" of that.

I'd go with Office365 since it's got a bunch of new features when trying to collect data from databases, LDAP queries etc.

I thought that office 365 only gets new features when the new version when the new version is released

I am pretty sure I saw some new features in the O365 version before 2019 hit officially.
