If she has a roommate and they give you their contact information before they move in, do call them! I did that every year I had a roommate (or two) and that way we split up who brought the TV, VCR, stereo, answering machine, recliners... etc. We went all out in our dorm rooms and basically had it all, yet we didn't have so much stuff that we didn't fit right in it.
Make sure you get them their own laundry detergent. I cannot even think of how many people didn't remember to bring that or other types of cleaning supplies. A small tool kit really came in handy more than once (hammer, nails, screwdrivers, pliers... the basics). Otherwise I cannot think of anything else that I did that others haven't mentioned.
