Is it important for an International Student to arrive in the airport near to his university?

Because you clear immigration at your first landing in the US it is absolutely normal that people immigrate at an airport nowhere near their final destination. They will probably ask you what your final destination is but as long as you know how you are getting there it will be no problem.

Probably not.

If they ask you about it, just tell them it's cheaper (including ground transport) from when you are flying from.

Have with you all necessary documents, visa, ... including university admissions documents.

When I started studying at a university in Birmingham, I flew from Toronto to Edinburgh because the flight + train was significantly cheaper than flying into other closer airports. They asked me which school I was studying at, and it didn't seem to faze them that it was 300 miles away.

As an aside, I'm not even sure they would know which university one is studying at without asking or doing some database querying. The UK Entry Clearance in my passport doesn't have the institution's name on it, nor does the confirmation page from the Home Office (remember to bring this!), nor does my BRP. They all bear an alphanumeric code that's associated with my CAS number (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies), but I'm not sure whether their systems immediately indicate "studying at University of X".
