Wash your sheets and kitchen towels more often than you think you need to. Figure out a couple basic meals that you can make from pantry staples and keep those on hand. Get to know lots of different people from a variety of backgrounds,she's, etc. Explore the new city away from the university area.

Some similar suggestions to others - the key is to create systems that make it easier to do what you intend. A laundry bin with sections for light and dark, another basket for shuttling to/from washer and dryer. Fold directly out of the dryer. Do ten minutes of tidying each day, scheduled with a reminder. Add a reminder to change sheets weekly, have two sets so it's quick and you aren't waiting for laundry.

Agree with others that doing a little at a time is helpful. You never get the satisfaction of the entire house being clean at once, but overall it will be decent. I did a lot of this when kids were little and I worked full time. Also agree that reducing clutter overall is good. Fewer things = less to do.
