After You Are Accepted: Things I did NOT Consider

Get Your Vaccinations
HepB is the big one since it takes a few months.
Usually big cities will have some place where you can get them free or very cheap. You can also get them through some hospitals by volunteering there.

Your Physical
You can get them done cheaply through your university but if you are even just one day after your graduation your university will no longer offer you any medical services (happened to me, had to pay $250 to my doctor instead of just the $20 at my university).

Finding an Apartment:
If you've ever done this before it should be pretty straight forward but don't expect the place to always look like the website. Also if a place is unusually cheap make sure you check the crime for the area. Reviews are not the best guide. Some places have terrible reviews but end up being pretty nice. Some apartments offer student discounts and others will only take you if you are employed but make under a certain amount of money per year - something they might only tell you after you pay for an application.
