Use budget airlines, if using international trains book them approx. 3 months in advance so you can get student discounts, buy at Lidl, Aldi or Dirk supermarkets which are the cheapest, buy a bike because it's very handy and economic.

I wish I had known...
I wished I knew a little bit more about the history of the country itself. Although it became apparent once i started meeting and interacting with the people there, I could have had time to learn more if I had already the basic knowledge of the history/culture of netherlands.

Just don't expect anything. Let yourself explore the city/university with a fresh palate.

I think that living abroad is an experience everybody should have, especially if you want to work in communication areas (this is my case). It helps you in endless ways. But it is also true that if you are not used to travelling around you can feel a bit lonely at first, you miss many things and every common situation looks harder than it is really. Anyway, this feeling vanishes soon (I hope) for almost everybody.
