Go to an actual booth in a country diner or anyplace comfortable and just talk about life. Grab their phone number and continue the semester this way occasionaly getting a bite to eat together when its conveinient. When the semester ends call him up and say your going to the mall to buy shoes and see if he comes. After that you are friends! I'm confused.. Are you dating him? He's asking how to make friends not to date guys..

dating like this will get you friendzoned!

You can be a weed dealer. People will storm at your door

Try to get to know the people who also study your degree better and join a few clubs

I also started college last year. It is a relatively small university; 7500 people. First day of classes, I really had no friends except my roommate. At lunch I grab my balls (figuratively) and tell myself that I'm gonna make some friends. I knew I wouldn't try to force friendships, but would try go get to know as many people as I could, and see with whom I was most compatible. I see a table with a boy and a girl, obviously two freshmen just as lost and confused as me, and I ask to join them. We all had quite a bit in common. Our friendships grew so quickly. Turns out they live in my residence hall. They introduced me to some of their other friends they had recently made. Gradually our friend circle grows. We all quickly become great friends. It's about 9 people in all. I could never have asked for a better group of friends. Looking back it doesn't seem that I tried very hard to make those friends. I like to let friendships just happen naturally.

For me, acquiring friends is a peculiar phenomenon; it's always gradual, and it seems that I'm somewhat oblivious of just what is happening until we are already great friends.

"Hey, that's a nice shirt you're wearing. Can you tell me more about it?"

 

Never fails.

You talk to people dude lol.

I stayed local for the most part though, i didnt have to leave my home town to do it, i did date a couple of women there and i met other people as we went out to bourbon street or bar hop at the beaches. plus, if its a football or sports is big at that school in that area, it will not be hard to find a party and meet tons of people. one of my cousins will be heading to FSU next week and another just went to some other school out of state i forgot the name of.
Its going to be an interesting football season though, kinda ups the ante when its a family football rivalry. Go Gators!

All my best friends are from primary school and high school.

I do have a few uni friends. I acquired them from drinking beer between classes and causing hassles for the lecturer lol, mainly cause we were smashed.

I did not read message forums like this when I was an undergrad. Had a bunch of friends and lots of kick ass parties. There's your problem.

The gym is an easy place to start. I met tons of people there when I was in undergrad. Clubs are useful too. People in your class is another good source. Be friendly to those in your class without coming off as too eager to please or strange. It's easy to make friendships in class when you're placed into groups. Lastly the food court is another place to make friends. Nothing like beer and fast food to bring people together.
