Former ESL teacher here--Through the ESL dept. you might find volunteer American tutors who are studying to be ESL teachers. These tutors can be very helpful for practicing one-on-one conversation, explaining American culture, introducing you to other American friends and attending campus social events, etc. (ESL isn't just about hanging out with other foreigners).

Read newspapers and news magazines. Don't be shy--most Americans are
very helpful and friendly. BTW, your English sounds great!
