Its good to buy Museum Card - it costs about 15 euro but later on entry is free to most of the museums in the Netherlands. Its really worthy.
Its better if u will find accomodation through your host university because otherwise it will be difficult to find a place. Amsterdam is very crowdy:)

Do not go for cheap umbrellas - buy a big and strong one right away!
Self-service in the cafes will safe your time enormously.
Bicycles bought from junkies add to your cultural integration and save your money...
