Used Book in Good Condition
That's an awesome bike, I almost went with one for my first bike. Is this your first motorcycle? If so, let me throw a quick couple thoughts out. If you are a seasoned rider, you'll agree these are good points.
2. If this is your first bike, read this book. I've been riding for years and I still read this every spring. it's a very easy read and catches you up on the basics of riding - it's not the same as driving a car. I cannot say enough praise about this book. If you don't want to purchase your own copy, I'll let you borrow mine, it's that essential. I recommend this book to seasoned riders, so this recommendation is equally valid if this isn't your first bike. Improving your knowledge on the road is always important, and this book is a great tool to do that.
Just remember, motorcycles demand a healthy level of respect. There is no reason to fear them, but ignoring safety practices with them is foolish. Always wear your full safety gear; /r/motorcycles calls this All The Gear, All The Time (ATGATT). Speaking of the motorcycles sub, we'd love to have you join.
You should also check out the Michigan moto club on Facebook. I don't have a bike any more, so I can't offer to ride with you, but there are always people on that page looking to ride with other students.
Honestly, just explore the city on your motorcycle. Need to go run and grab a notebook in the middle of the day? Take the scenic route down to the Meijer on carpenter (East on Geddes -> South on Huron Parkway -> East on E Huron River Drive -> South on Hogback Road which will turn into carpenter). The most mindless tasks just got very fun!
Finally, enjoy the ride. You've got a great bike in a very fun city and the freedom to explore. Take the most of it!
All of the suggestions so far are pretty spot-on. We've been having an unseasonably warm winter up until now but, knowing Michigan, that won't last long. The thermal or fleece-lined pants/leggings will be your best friend. You don't need to go crazy regarding the coat, since you will only be here for the Winter term and coats are all over the place when it comes to price (and since you can layer up underneath anything you do get). I'd recommend looking for something with a hood that comes past your face so it will block the wind - quite often the sub-zero winds are the worst part of the winter weather (at least imho).
It doesn't sound as if you'll be needing to do a lot of walking to get from your dorm to your classes so any decent, waterproof boot should be good. I lived a bit off campus and took the bus into downtown so there was quite a bit of walking. These hand & toe warmers were an absolute necessity for me. I'd keep them in my boots, pockets, and gloves. I'm not sure how I would've survived waiting outside for the bus without them.
That all being said, have fun in Michigan and go blue!
I really recommend getting more storage in general. Command door hooks, over the door hooks, ottomans are great for this (ottoman also works as seating).
For more unconventional ideas, I think a shoe organizer thing (https://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-Over-Door-Hanging-Organizer/dp/B000HM5V0A/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_201_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5G4KM6NE6KWAV5049JZY) is a great idea, especially if you loft your bed. You can use it for shoes or honestly anything else instead (I keep first aid stuff, cosmetics, lotion, umbrella, food, chargers, power banks, and a bunch of random stuff). Lawn chairs are a good alternative to a futon since it's much much easier to transport and store.

Since other people have already answered your question about where to buy your headphones, I thought I’d chime in with a recommendation.
I came to UoM with a new MacBook and pair of Beats headphones. The Beats lasted about two years and were literally falling apart by the end of it (probably my fault though). I just replaced them a few weeks ago with these. They’re a bit cheaper than the Beats that I had but have better sound quality, fit over my ear (you may or may not want that), and have white-noise-cancellation. They’re both BlueTooth and have a removable cord, just like my pair of Beats did. If you want Beats, power to you. Just thought I’d throw out a recommendation :)
The Making of the University of Michigan.
It was written in 1992 for the 175th anniversary, but provides a pretty cool look back into student life and the founding of the University. It does get a bit dense at times talking about which faculty were hired each year (back when it was a small staff), but overall I found it absolutely fascinating.
Make sure to go to Supplemental Instruction sessions! They’re weekly sessions open to everyone in CoE hosted by the Engineering Learning Center (ELC). You’ll have an SI leader there every week that picks a set of problems for you guys to work through and explain in detail, and I’ve found that consistently going helps me tremendously. They also host practice exams that are different than the ones you’ll find online. Here’s the schedule: http://elc.engin.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2019/01/ELC-SI-schedule-WN19-1-27.pdf
Also, I HIGHLY recommend buying the following book. One of my friends recently wrote it before graduation and he was the best tutor/SI leader I’ve ever had. This book is basically a collection of all his note/teaching material: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1983340995/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QvZvCb3692JBJ

Like the other commenter said, intro to algorithms by CLRS is a great one. However, if you're trying to do interview prep I highly recommend Cracking the Coding Interview. It has tons of fantastic coding questions with detailed solutions. Big 4 companies use problems directly from that book sometimes.
Our athletic department is not a source of profit for the school either directly, or indirectly through alumni, see the following for discussion and references:
http://www.amazon.com/Beer-Circus-Crippling-Undergraduate-Education/dp/0805068112
http://www.amazon.com/Intercollegiate-Athletics-American-University-Perspective/dp/0472089439
the latter written by former president of U of M, James Duderstadt. This is an incredibly widespread myth which is extremely pernicious in its ability to confuse and misdirect. Only a handful of athletic departments in the country can occasionally make a profit, and this is only after the significant help with overheads from their University (grounds, maintenance, IT support, various staff) and the often directly shady or illegal bookkeeping going on. None of those schools which make a profit from their athletic department do so consistently.
As to your other points, see Beer and Circus above for a thorough destruction of all of those less measurable points. To simplify grossly: the spirit and "rounding" you refer to are blatantly antithetical to the school's primary missions of education, scholarship, and service.
In true reddit fashion, stop being a fucking sheep and look around occasionally.
