I'm planning on going to graduate school out-of-state next year and I have a few car-related questions. Will I have to get a driver's licence for that state, or can I keep my original one because I'm a student? Will I have to register my vehicle for that state as well?

A full-time student may keep their license, registration, and insurance of the home state while they are enrolled in almost every state.
Careful though - if you intend to establish residency in that state, having an out of state license, registration, and insurance is a sure way to prove that you don't intend to be a resident.
Also, in some communities there are advantages to being "local" to get local benefits like admission to places etc... so consider that as well.

You don't have to register your car in the new state, as long as you maintaine our registration in your previous state. You will have to make sure that you have a good address for the state to send your registration to once you head out to grad school (parents, sister/brother, etc).

I believe you can keep your same drivers license and keep your car registered in your home town.
Have fun in school.
