1. Get your student visa!
2. Get your birth certificate translated
You'll need this for your Carte de Séjour. Note: I didn't have mine translated when I went in but the lady was very friendly and didn't even mention it. But I would not count on it to happen again! I think I was lucky! If you don't have it translated when you get here, you can go to the mayor's office of your arrondissement and pick up a list of approved translators. That option can take time and be expensive.
3. DO NOT buy tons of passport photos from Kinko's
Someone told me to get tons of passport photos before heading over because you need them for EVERYTHING. While the later is true, you can get them for very cheap (4 for 4euros i think) in any train station photo booth instead of giving kinko's $20.
I'll add to this list as I think of other things...
