Joining clubs can be a way to meet new people. They often have socials and things that are more like doing a food run or whatever. If your dorm has a common area, you can try hanging around there instead of in your room. You can also find a job where you work with a lot of other students. If you’re in the sciences, you could work in a lab as well, where you might meet more grad students who aren’t really interest in parties. Invite people you meet to try this new restaurant or see a movie. Or you can make a study group for one of your classes and then invite people to go on an ice cream or snack run. The key really is that you have to be proactive about it. You can’t wait for them to find you, especially if your’re cooped up in your room all the time.
