It sounds like you need some advice for the college budget mate! First, don't think about buying a knife set. Never. Second, I would recommend either a 6 or 8 inch santoku knife, or simply a chef's knife. My personal favorite is my 6 inch mystery brand santoku--kept razor sharp, feather light, chopping is a cinch. If you'll be cooking lots of meats, then get an 8 incher with a heavy weight to it, like this Henckels I have. For ultimate budgeting, buy this

Henckels International is Henckels' lower end sets. I couldn't tell you what kind of quality to expect, but their Zwilling JA Henckels series is of mid range quality, so chances are this is a lower-tier, meh-quality set.

It's only worth the full price if you intend on using every single knife in the set. Otherwise, you are WAY better off buying a Zwilling JA Henckels Chef's Knife and maybe a couple other knives as you need them. My personal collection consists of an 8" Shun Santoku, an 8" Victorinox knife (a backup to the shun or when cutting things that might harm my Shun), the $10 Kuhn Rikon paring knife and a Wusthoff serrated bread knife.

Honestly, the only other knives I would really consider is maybe a Nakiri (vegetable knife) or maybe a smaller utility knife (for smaller veggies).

this is my go to knive. but if you are looking for a budget option the victorinox is a great knive. very good for the price

This is what I use in my kitchen. The price may seem a little steep, until you consider that you will use it every day for the rest of your life. I haven't needed to sharpen it yet, but I keep it honed with this. This thing is razor sharp and will cut tomatoes and citrus with no effort whatsoever. If you're on a budget, I previously used the "International" line, and can vouch for them staying quite sharp if they are honed regularly. Shun and Wusthof both make highly regarded knives as well.

It's possible to buy a knife with a good blade and a good handle, you know. The Victorinox above is like getting a Ford Mustang GT350. It's perfectly capable, but it's not going to compare to Porsche Turbo, Ferrari, or Lambo as far as desirability. The same goes for a plastic phone. But some people want a phone that feels good in the hand and solid and more than just plastic.

So yea, that Victorinox will work. It cuts things and does a good job at it (aka serviceable). But as far as having a NICE knife that does all that, plus feels good in the hand and looks look, then you need to look elsewhere.

Here are two perfectly good knives that have equally sharp blades and are used by professional chefs out there:
