I think you pretty much have it figured out.
Beyond that, I'd try to keep a low limit on the cards and resist the temptation to increase to the level that credit card companies would like you to raise it to. The Capital Ones of the world would love nothing more than to own your ass once you get out of school.
I always tried to get a job on campus that I could use to offset some expense like being a dorm advisor in exchange for free rent or work in the cafeteria for free food. Jobs that pay with real money are fine but I tended to piss away the money.
