Do the reading, homework, and assignments as soon as you can, and sleep well.
Buy a vehicle that looks like the campus maintenance vehicles and get easy parking around campus.
Go to office hours and ask thoughtful questions, you can network with both students, staff, instructors, and TAs, everyone is your network.
In some universities its cheaper to not buy a parking pass, and just pay the tickets (assuming its infrequent enough).
I can't say I know anything about the parking/car stuff as that sounds very US-specific, but I can second everything else.
Don't get complacent with the work, stay on top of it, and if you ever feel yourself falling behind, don't be scared to ask for help. Literally everyone wants to see you succeed, but the further you fall behind the harder it gets.
At the same time, allow yourself to have some fun too.
