my dorm tips to success:
1) settle on some ground rules, but don't be an asshole. don't try and form a billion rules, and allow the rules to be bent every once in a while. even if they're a bit of an ass to you. if they're a complete ass to you, feel free to screw with them.
2) only take with you the bare essentials. take with you your favorite clothes, or enough clothes to last you a week or so, tops. trust me. take as little random useless shit as possible. this does not include personal trinkets/items/decorations/etc. i'm just saying that if you're going to take something with you that you won't use and has no other real value to it, its just wasting space.
3) bring tools, as already mentioned. hammer, nails, pliers, duct tape, safety pins are a good start. push pins, screwdriver, scissors, extension cords, and a power supply/splitter/etc. are also good additions.
4) look around for clubs/organizations to join. this is probably your best chance to meet new people who share similar interests. i'm sure you'll meet a lot of people in the dorm and in class, but you'll make a lot of friends in a club or whatnot.
