Some food for thought regarding pricing. If you have a set pricing plan, it's easier for customers to know how much things cost and if you can get things completed quickly, you could benefit from the set pricing plan. However, if things are really difficult to implement, you could be doing a lot of extra work and not being compensated for it.
Quoting based on individual client needs will bring your compensation closer to the work amount but may take time to negotiate and estimate. However, I recall there was a post a week or two back regarding charging based on value-added to the business.
Things to watch out for would be contract details, compensation details, delivery details, expectations, etc. Also look out for customers expectations and behaviours - you'll have to try to spot people to see if it's easy to work with them or not. Compensation isn't the only factor when accepting a contract. How your schooling schedule fits into this is also important. Because you're still in school, I would recommend picking up clients who aren't going to demand your time for every second of the day.
Good luck!
