Right. Any geographical restrictions? Will you phone them to make sure
they exist? Some sort of firewall on outgoing connections?
Alright, so I'm paranoid :-)

You'll want to use disk quotas, so that they can't fill up the disk with
junk. PAM can be used to set up memory usage limits (IIRC) when they
login, and automatically set their nice level to 4 (or similar) if
they're in a specific group.
You need to add
session required pam_limits.so
in the login restrictions for your PAM config - this is
/etc/pam.d/common-account in recent debian, and then add stuff to
/etc/security/limits.conf.
