Many new laptops have built in webcams.  So if her's already has one, she is all set as long as there is highspeed internet at her college room.

On your end, you will need a computer (or a laptop) and a webcam (built in or bought separately).  Of course a high speed internet connection.

You will then need some sort of messaging software, MSN Live Messenger is pretty easy to use if you already have a hotmail address.
