I know a DSLR would definitely be optimal, but all I have right now is a GoPro. With a college student's budget, I can't afford a better camera right now. I could definitely use a stabilizer to make the shots the best that I can. Any suggestions as to what stabilizer/mount would be best? Also, any other accessories besides a stabilizer?
go pro's shoot a pretty wide angle, you can just mount them to a ski pole or something and get decent stabilisation

This, save the money and buy a DSLR in a couple years when you can afford it. Even a T2i with kit lens will make a huge difference.
Honestly make your own. Sounds a littleiffy, but this year I made a simple steady mount for my camcorder, and it make shots wayyyyy better then just handheld. poke around on youtube and you will surely find good tutorials.
I think the parts for mine all together cost around $12. Also if you got more creative with it I'm sure you could also construct a gimbal for one for a little more cash.
They make mini stabilizers just for gopros. They have the right mount and stuff. Never seen one in action, but they do exist

like the steadicam smoothee?
Hey man, I was in the same position as you... You have a gopro and now you've been seeing all of these great videos shot on DSLR's... Well if I were you I would purchase a "GLIDECAM IGLIDE" they are around 125 dollars on amazon and will make your shots look like they are flying... Another tip, If you don't like the fisheye look and want a more cinematic look, change your settings to anything at or above 1080p, frame rate doesn't matter, and have it set on "narrow" because it will give the video a more flat look instead of fisheye look! GOOD LUCK!!!
