Something low profile. I'm guessing that you're an upcoming freshmen.

1. Something ugly: You'll probably end up driving intoxicated at least once, so you really dont want a car worth too much if you fuck up. And even if you dont drive drunk, the people that park next to you in the tightass parking deck or parallel park behind you and stumble back to their dorms will. Most of them will be driving POS hand me down rusty Corollas, Sentras, and Civics and wont care about dinging up your nice 2JZ swapped SC400.

2. Something stealthy: College campuses are pretty small and have dedicated police forces that stalk the entire campus. You dont want to get a reputation of having a fast car or driving like an asshole, the cops WILL remember you. Also something flashy will attract negative attention and potentially thieves. You definately dont want your 2003/2004 Ford Mustang Cobra to be scratched by some jealous drunk ho or your Evo to be stolen. And by stolen I dont even mean the entire car, I mean the spoiler, the sideskirts, the side mirrors etc.

3. Something easy to drive: This kinda returns to #1. You will be drunk and may want someone to drive you and/or your car home. Crazy LS1 RX-7s are fun but would I trust somebody from my dorm who DDs a rusty Corolla to drive me home in one?

4. Something small: Parking is very limited on campuses so the smaller and easier your car is to park the better your life will be. Smaller cars are smaller targets for drunk frat boys driving around campus.

5. Something with a hatch: Moving's a bitch when all you have is the tiny trunk of a rusted out Corolla. And you will end up moving many times the first few years.

So my recommendation is either a small pickup truck or hatchback. Save your money, you'll need it to pay for books and food. Budget your money so you dont have to take out student loans and can focus on schoolwork instead of splitting time between school and work.

But if I was rich, dumb, and going to college as a newb, I'd go for a used Mercedes E63. You can get used 10yr old models for cheap as hell.

That being said, buy an ugly FC rx7, and TII swap it, sleeper for the theives, and plenty of room for school supplys!
