Anyways, great post/thread Tom!
Definitely a biggie that I forgot to mention. Secure your wireless routers, especially in the dorms. The RIAA just sent out their most recent wave of lawsuits to colleges around the country. Don't let yourself be one of them because your neighbor is using your connection to download illegal music. It's kind of hard to explain that one to a piece of paper demanding you pay thousands in fees to a music company that doesn't care.
