I have been at interviews at company A and B. Today i received a verbal offer from company A, but they said that I would probably not receive the contract before 3 weeks time. I have no preference between A and B. How should i react if company B also offers me a job? I think it would be very dishonest to say yes, as I have already said yes to company A. But I feel a bit uncertain as I don't have anything in paper. I think that it is very unlikely that company A will not follow through as it is a very well respected company, but I of course can't know for certain. I also have an interview at company C next week. Should I cancel this interview now? I would rather work for A than C.

I don't know if it relevant, but none of these jobs are full-time positions. I'm a 20 years old university student.

As long as you don’t have a signed contract, you have nothing. Your verbal acceptance doesn’t count. And with three weeks between offer and contract, it’s their own fault if they lose you.

If you get an offer from B, you go with the better offer. You can also tell A that you have another offer where they will decide earlier. That might speed A up a bit.
