Try to get involved in activities that are on campus and that involve a lot of face-time with other students. These can take the form of organizations that have a lot of socials or activities that they do as a group, intramural sports, maybe different rec classes, or even getting a job on campus (esp. one in which you will be working with a lot of other students, like a dining hall). Perhaps set up study groups in your classes, and try to go to the events that happen at the beginning of the year (dances, fairs, etc).

If you’re school has a high amount of residential life, chances are many freshmen may not have cars on campus. You may be even more popular because you have a car =D Once you start meeting people, perhaps you could invite people to go to a local restaurant or other outing and offer to drive.
