I was really borderline about bringing sundresses or patterned skirts- I figured I'd be going to parties, dinners and class, but not brunch. I was really glad to have them with me.
Also, lecture halls tend to be freezing, so it's nice to have a few cardigans.
I brought too many shoes, when you're packing them try to think about what you'll wear them with. I did not need 3 pair black satin evening pumps for freshman year, but I wore all of my less formal black heels a lot. I think a pair of black heels, and a pair of mid-height nude heels can get you through (nearly) any event.
Invest in one of those mattress toppers. And also make sure you buy everything you need to keep your papers organized.
If you know the campus well enough, the best thing to do is pay attention to what people wear to class. At some schools nike shorts and a school/greek/generic tee is standard for class, and at some it's pretty common to see girls in 8 am french wearing a sundress. You'll probably end up, at least somewhat, conforming to what's normal class wear at your school, so i'd try to pack mostly for that- but know that finals week will come, and you'll want your athletic shorts, as will the days where you just need to curl your hair and dress up.
I also second the comfy walking shoes. While this doesn't exactly qualify as a walking shoe, I was really glad I invested a little more money in some comfy black ballet flats with a good sole.
