Answer 1

Just be yourself and wear your style.  What you feel comfortable with.  I don't know how it is in the UK.  But in the US, students in college are normally more open and accepting, unlike high school.  They would respect you for being yourself more than being someone who you are not.  

Answer 2

Definately invest in a few cute tote bags and a nice rucksack/backpack for all those text books the brand "Roxy" does some lovely designs on their backpacks.

Im the same height and size as you, and George/asda  and Cherokee/Tesco honestly have some great tops and jeans, new look does some great jeans for £10.

Your going to need some comfy trainers or flats if you have lots of stairs or a long commute to college. A good umberella might see you well if it showers or rains and you dont have a waterproof coat on.

Try and buy a few key items and then make them look different with lots of funky accessories like necklaces, bangles, scarves or belts =]

Dont forget a few note pads and jotters, pens pencils etcs!

Answer 3

I wouldnt worry.

Seriously wear whatever you want or whatever you feel comfortable in.

There not really strict at college at all when it comes to clothes, just dont go too far like tiny skirt and bikini top or anything like that and you'll be fine.

When you start college you will see how normally everyone dresses i used to just wear t shirt and jeans and trainers, sometimes I'd dress up a bit with a little summer dress or something.
