I did about the same thing back when I was going to Oregon State.
There was a short downhill before the driveway to the dorm. Unfortunately,
there was a patch of ice in the driveway.  I was quite amazed to find 
myself without a bicycle under me. The result: seven stitches in my chin.

Since then, when the temperature gets below freezing, I'm just REAL careful.
I go slow on corners, watch out for shady spots, etc. With the patchy ice
conditions that we get around here it's the best thing I can recommend.
