Here is an example book that I would recommend trying out before you start school. You can get a solid foundation and know the material very quickly. Even if you are going to do Java in a class, I would recommend having the fundamentals down first because you want to be solid before facing learning in an academic environment. This book is a decade old but still pretty good. Java fundamentals have not really changed that much in that time.
