On the coffee note: get a good travel mug that seals, if you haven't already, that you can stow in a man-bag or backpack as necessary. Scout out the coffee shops around your college that offer discounts for using your own cup.
I also really recommend getting some kind of reusable water container (I'm not afraid of BPA, so I still use a hot pink Nalgene) that can go in your backpack/man-bag.
If you're going to use public transportation a lot, find out if your college offers discounts on passes.
And yes, if you haven't got one already, you're going to want a good backpack/man-bag. I have a Timbuktu backpack complete with laptop sleeve and myriad pockets for all of my assorted student paraphernalia--pencils, iPod, cell phone, Clif bars, books, etc.
Invest in a good planner that works for you--be it a PDA or an old-fashioned wall calendar or a whiteboard calendar or a pocket planner. Whatever. I use a combo of a pocket planner and a whiteboard calendar on my wall.
Good luck!
