Certainly agree. Get an Oyster for the first year and probably for the second year (depending on whether you find a place to live near the main teaching site).
Every room has an internet connection which you can register for in your first week here. I think it costs £30 for the whole year. Also you will have your own phone on the hall network which you can make outgoing and incoming calls from (and I think the call costs are pretty low). You can also call your friends in hall or any other college extension on these phones for free (using the 5-digit extension number).
Shop around for a good mobile deal. I know that there are usually some companies around at the Freshers Fair so you may be able to pick up a good deal there. I would try and find out what's on offer before the Fair so that you can compare the deals on offer with your pick of the high-street deals.
