I’m pretty shy and it took me about 2 months to get a real “group.” I’d say the key is socializing with your floor immediately and going to parties with them (even if you don’t drink much). I didn’t go to parties at first and that’s when the whole floor bonded. You’ll probably meet your main group of friends in your major, especially if it’s a relatively small major.
And you will keep in contact with less of your high school friends. It takes 2 people to keep that kind of friendship going. But at least in my experience, my high school friends are still my best friends, and if anything the friendships have gotten stronger since college.
