Best piece of advice in this thread.
Ozymandias:
Agreed.
Stirfry is the easiest, tastiest thing.
A rice cooker is also a good idea.

Also, take advantage any kind of co-op/undergrad research/internship programs the school offers around your sophomore or junior year.

No, I don't like that I got in 2 years of college what I should have got in 1... I stopped going to class and played video games/got drunk/did drugs/went out clubbing 6 nites a week/quit my job.
But fml, it was fun.

I don't know if it's possible, but if you can, room in a corridor dorm instead of a suite. While the suite may offer more privacy and quiet time, my time in a corridor has definitely gotten me better socialized and made me a better person for it. Though this is not quite like high school, you will meet people that you have more in common with than back at home, and you will meet people that you dislike more than the most aggravating person you have ever met. The trick is that now you are more 'in the wild' you can spend more time with people that you genuinely enjoy spending time with.
Also, do not necessarily dismiss greek life out of hand. There are fraternities out there that are not just filled with hooting 'frat boys', and I can hardly imagine life on campus without my brothers.
Finally, buy a leatherman. I can hardly describe how useful it has been in my time here. You're not at home: things will break, you're going to have to fix them, and it helps to have real tools for things.
