Re (4): a personal letter to any personally contacted professor would be appreciated and well received. You do not want to burn any bridges. You never know where those teachers may be teaching when you are ready for graduate work, and you want them to remember you as a gracious, polite person…it bespeaks much about your teachability as well as your humanity. Thank them for their time and interest in you, specifically mention any special favors or insights (if you had a trial lesson), and let them know you hope to see them in other professional situations as your studies and career evolves. The good ones will be happy for you.

Sorry that I cannot speak to all the other issues, but even as a pianist, you will do some collaborative work with other musicians, and you need for your dorm room to have good access to practice facilities. You can wast a lot of time looking for parking if you drive…use the shuttle!
