Maybe a couple pairs of these: http://www.teamestrogen.com/prodAN_1113.html that you can wear under regular shorts. They're less expensive than trying to keep multiple pairs of bicycle shorts.

I tried a pair of andiamo liner shorts once - absolutely hated them, the fabric was a bit thin and meshlike and so hairs could go through them and get caught. That and the thin/meshiness of the fabric just meant that there was a bit more chafing than I like going on.
HOw long is your commute to work? Any chance that if you put a cusher saddle on you wouldn't need a pair of bike shorts? I have a specialized ariel mountain biking saddle on my commuter bike - and I can ride it in normal clothing 5 miles or so without any issues (I haven't tried riding it further than that) It's pretty plush.

I HATE (as in hate hate hate) putting on wet or even damp bike clothes. Is there absolutely nowhere you can hide your damp clothes and let them air? This isn't the sort of thing people steal, so as long as you're not annoying anyone too much they will probably hang there in peace.
But if I had no place to air my clothes I'd bring an extra pair of shorts and maybe socks. Jersey/jacket I'd air over the back of my chair wherever I was sitting, that's socially acceptable
PS. You can also "dry" shorts by turning them inside out and wrapping them in a old absorbent towel. But then you have to carry an extra towel. Faster drying minimizes smell, though.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

does your school have commuter lockers somewhere that you can rent? that'd let you hang out your clothes. Or if it's got a gym with a locker/changing room - can you put a lock on one of those lockers?

Ride in. Change. Wrap the morning's stuff in a towel and put in a paper bag.
Work.
At the end of the day, grab the paper bag from *yesterday*, with yesterday's biking clothes in it. All dry!
Leave today's paper bag here overnight (assuming you can trust it, but hey, who would steal used wet cycling stuff?)
