Paper and pens are probably a good idea, and you should also try to take a map if you have one already, or grab one when you arrive
That way in the event that you get lost (Or temporarily misplaced) you can sort things out without too much drama. Food and/or money is also a good idea. Aside from that I don't think there are any particular requirements aside from the general things like ensuring that you are fully clothed, and have a pair of shoes (Somewhat flexible, but I'd personally encourage you to ensure that you take care of both of these). Last, but certainly not least, a big stick beat down the hippies with certainly won't go astray.
I'd suggest being as ready as you can manage, the less surprises the better (In my opinion). Better to overprepare than get caught out
There's no good way to start Uni, so a tutorial will do just as well as anything else
Good luck, have fun
