But I was wondering if it would be wise to partition this drive and keep my windows files separate from my school/work files in case something like this happens again?
Because I'm a broke student I went back to a PC (which I don't mind at all. Are you allowed to be a MAC and PC fan at the same time?) but because of my years using a mac, I'm a little out of practice with all this stuff.

It is a wise idea to separate your data from your OS. In the event that your computer crashes you can reformat your OS partition and re-install it, and your data would be untouched.
... and for no good reason, I don't follow this practice
