I have no idea on size as all the files that would go on it are currently scattered around my MacBook, my desktop, and my dad's 4 TB HDD. I wouldn't expect it to be too much (25-50 GB), but having room for expansion would be necessary. You can never have too much room.

It probably won't be moving around too much. It most likely would stay at the school and be used/taken home when data on it is needed. I don't have a preference to disk size.
