First Aquarium Fish

I'm going off to college soon and am planning on getting a 10g tank, since it's the only pet I'm allowed and I'm so used to having animals to look after. I have a few questions, but the most important would be what kinds of fish.

I'm pretty set on getting a few Albino Cory Cats, but I want to know how many that can comfortably house (I want more than one, since they school) and still have enough room for a few little schooling middle-top dwelling fish. I want an easy-care fish, and nothing too shy, since I'm sure in a dorm there will be people in and out.

Another big thing is if it's worth the time and energy for a planted aquarium. I'd like to give my fish real plants, but I haven't yet heard enough pros and cons for them. If I go with the real plants, what would be some good easy-care species for Cory Cats and whatever else I decide to get.

Anything else you think I should know would be really appreciated. I'm researching the exact care, and of course once I find out what fish I want I'll do a bit more work on that. If you have any good brands/sites/shops that would be great to know.
