I made it through 6 years of NMT with no cell phone. Of course, I graduated before they really existed all that much, but still, the point is, you don't f'ing need a cell phone, and if they're going to _require_ you to have one, they're going to pay for it. It's probably a law, even. So screw him on #1.
#2 - umm, why? You can't possibly be far from campus, unless you actually like moved to Lemitar or something. Hell, most of China doesn't own a car, and they're quite productive! Oh, and on the no-money thing: you need a bigger student loan. ;) I survived on $70/week when I was there (after taxes, before rent), but that was like ten years ago. Ramen, potatoes, water, and free social events. Mmmmm... ramen...
#3 - acclimation issue, I guess? That'll go away after about a week of biking. 'course, not if it's -8F outside (like it is now, here in Denver).
#4 - that could be the toughest one of all. Red Tape SuX0rZ!
