How to make friends here?

I’m having a really hard time with the social scene here…My roommates and I are really close but outside of that I have basically no friends.
I’ve joined several clubs and I go to meetings and put myself out there but I feel like I’m not really clicking with anyone.
My roommates are in the same boat but on weekends they tend to go home, and two of them already have boyfriends that they spend all their time with, so it’s really easy for them. I’m too far from home and so on the weekend I often find myself alone.
What am I doing wrong? I’m really friendly and I talk to people before/after class and club meetings, but at the end of the day I still have no friends/people I want to make plans with. Any suggestions for making a close group of friends at NYU?
