Just to reiterate some of the advice already given..meeting new people is as simple as getting involved in a new activity or two, or societies or similar. The wonderful thing about universities is that most have an excellent selection of socs and clubs to join. You can learn a new sport or something which sounds interesting, or get involved with something you've enjoyed for years. You'll have a shared interest already with the other people in the society & often you'll end up going out for a drink or meal with some of the people and get to know them better. It really is a great way to make friends..have fun!
