Not knowing anyone in college.

I go to college out of state(25 hours away from home), (a top 30 university) and I was wondering when do most college kids start making friends. I have been in orientation for three days, and I don’t really know anyone. Everyone else seems to have friends everywhere. My roommate and some people on my floor are cool, and I hang out with them sometimes(so far only 2 to three times, because its only my 3rd day of college).It seems that everyone else is forming connections and making friends. Also I go to a mid size school (has 1600 freshmans).So far I have gone to eat six times to my schools cafertia(and I have eaten alone for 2 times), other times I just went to eat with my roommate and some kids in my hall.Is it normal for college kids to eat alone in the cafertia because everyone has different schedules (different classes so different schedules).I just don’t want to be a loser who ends up not making any friends in college(friends are your support system in college because most everyone families are really far away).I am already thinking about transferring to another school (because the school is ranked higher, its only 4 hours away from home, and I have a lot of friends from high school who went there).

Sad thing is I actually want classes to start, so I can stop sitting around my dorm bored out of my mind lol…
