Contact the school and ask them what they recommend. We do not know what they require you to have or run. You want to be 100% compatible with your professors, other students, and with your course of study. You will have collaborative projects and assignments. Others you are working with at school will not be happy if you are not 100% compatible.
Those apps you need are very dependent on CPU and RAM, so it would be nice to go with MBPs. Maybe a 13" with Intel 10th Gen CPU and spend some extra on the RAM (32GB would be enough, I believe). Plus, the 10th Gen CPUs come paired with really fast RAM, so you'll also benefit from it.
The storage is up to you. They now start at 512GB
Those would be intermediate and high end 13" Macs + RAM upgrade.
It's a machine for years to come.
Forget about the Air model. It's just not suited for your needs.
If you're not in a hurry, maybe you should wait a few weeks once Apple is about to release some updates on the Mac line, then you can decide also considering the new machines.
