I knew a math teacher named Sato who went to school at the Future University up there. He never said much about college life, but he was very friendly. Out of all the math teachers I've met, his haircut was the best. We couldn't communicate very well at the time, but we knew that we both enjoyed the music of Stevie Wonder and that made us pals.
Also, good luck with the Pimsleur. I think those MP3s are great. I used them before I came to Japan. I learned very fast with them - I only wish they had continued after level III. They were really good for pronunciation and rhythm. I'm often burning copies of those Pimsleur discs and giving them to friends who are trying to learn Japanese.
I have fond memories of that moment in one of the first 12 lessons where the guy trying to set a time for a date with an uninterested girl fails take a hint. Also thought it was funny that one of the first things they teach is "Why don't we go back to my place?"
