How to make friends in a new town?

Hey guys,

This is an embarrassing question. I am graduating college in a few months and accepted a job in Milwaukee, WI. Ive never been up north before and not sure how to make new friends in a new city. It is so easy to make friends in college, you go to class, a bar, or club activities, you meet people your age with same interest everywhere. But living alone in a complete new place is both exciting and scary. I am very nervous so if you have any experience with this, please let me know.
