Bring a blanket from home. It's good to have something to wrap yourself in when you're lonely.
Also, as Judy Scheindler said, better to live in a cardboard box alone than a penthouse with roommates. If you can manage it, forgo roommates. They will screw you over. Try to pay 25% of income for rent, even if you have to take transit or commute.
Also, pay off all debt and save at least 25% of your wages if you can at all manage it. A little caution when young will be a huge benefit in just a few years.
