Introduction to Algorithms by CLRS. Used in almost every algorithms class I've heard of, and a great reference book. It's about 1300 pages, so don't try to read straight through it.
C Programming Language by K&R. This is a C programmer's Bible.
Design Patterns by the Gang of Four
This is a little more of a topic book, but The Art of UNIX Programming by Raymond.
These are all either pretty common, or almost essential. You'll probably see these in your curriculum anyway, and you should. These are a good cornerstone.

"The art of Unix Programming" by Eric S. Raymond. Not as intimidating or outdated as you might think - This book goes over the history and philosophical concepts behind not only Unix (and Linux), but also the Open Source initiative behind Linux. ESR's other work is "The Cathedral & the Bazaar" which is also worth a look, but I would argue is dated now, as much of what was suggested in this book has already come to pass with too many real world examples to mention.
