While suitecases might be good, if you stay at the dorms there might not be a place to put them. You might want to use boxes instead, that way you can get rid of them and make space.
If you are moving far away you might want to take as much as your belongings as possible, if not then best to leave some if you're going to visit often.
I just finished my first year and went to a college about 2 hours from my hometown, I lived in the dorms, and so it's hard to be specific on what you need. If you're staying in dorms, I'm sure the school as a meal program with food already prepared so you don't need to take any pans or pots. It all basically depends on your living situation. Good luck. The first year can be scary but you'll have a good time.

Yup, suitcases work really well, plus you can rotate though clothing if you want and put light clothing in your suitcase during the winter and vice versa. Storage space plus a good way to carry stuff for move-in. Also if you have any other kind of storage like plastic bins or stacking cubbies...stuff like that works well to keep stuff neatly together, plus you can back clothing like socks or sweaters around any fragile things you might put in storage bins. Using your backpack for things like books you're bringing, or notebooks/journals, photos that aren't in frames or other fairly flat things is another option.
Journals are good, so are photos of friends/family/favorite vacation spots. You'll likely acquire pictures of college friends at some point as well. Make sure you have a solid way to hang decorations - magnets are super helpful if you're planning on lofting your bed and it has a metal frame. Depending on what your school offers and where you are, a small fan may be useful (my college doesn't have air conditioning in all the dorms so the fall is nasty without fans).
Make sure you have any cooking pots/pans/special silverware (wooden spoons, pasta strainers etc) that might come in handy.
Hopefully some of that was helpful. Have a blast at school!

Suitcases are the best things for traveling yet alone college. Don't forget to pack a journal..The college years are always the best along with so many unforgetful memories. ;)
Best of luck during college years.
