re: For those who went to school Out of State.

You have to be really social those first few weeks. Never eat alone. Go as a group or ask to sit with people. The biggest mistake I see is waiting til October to work your social muscles.

Also, get into or make study groups. 4-6 people at a regular time.

Find a cool place and make it your own. A coffee spot, bar or whatever. Organize a tailgate and host an event. Join a club. Get out and be social.

Sounds like you're squandering precious time. Don't let that continue. Introduce yourself. Start a convo and get going. Shame on you for the slow start.

ETA: This is the easiest time you will ever have to make friends. The universe has put all these people around you and you'll never know why unless you stick out your hand and introduce yourself.
