Live on campus at least one term. Then feel free to move to off campus housing. On campus life is great, you don't want to miss out. What everone else said, those are good ideas.
I will add, talk to your roommate about hookups, if you want to pick up girls. Nothing is worse then having a roommate cock block you.
My roommate was an asshole, and my girl didn't want to talk to her roommate about it. the result was lots of publicish action, on dark benchs. Good times.
