In University we use Oracle so I've been studying SQL, PL/SQL and all my assignments are obviously in Oracle. I like database development so when I begin my project in the summer I'd like to use C#/ASP.net for a windows program that synchronises it's database with one in an ASP powered website. I'm guessing I'll have to use hosting with SQL server - Is Microsoft SQL and T-SQL much different to Oracle and PL/SQL?

Thanks

You guessed wrong. .Net can connect with an Oracle database.

But can oracle be used as an online (hosted) database connected to a website built in asp.net?
I need a DB that can be connected to through a windows application (c#) and mirrored/updated/accessed online

Ugh, why would you want to share your database or have someone else host it?

Come on people, this is craziness!!! (by the way that is totally possible)

Here, I build app and give you all my data! derpty derrrrr....

(this isn't directed at the OP, I imagine some clueless CIO (Professor) has asked him to figure out such an ingenius application)

One thing more to conider is that if you have a network outage or slow down, it will adverely affect your application.
