In class:
Talk about the class with people around you and introduce yourself casually and friendly, if the professor asks a question to everyone try to answer it. People will start getting used to you and you'll have friends in no time. I know it's easier said than done.

Outside of class:
There may be clubs you can join. It makes it easier to talk to people because you all have something in common. See what sort of clubs and organizations they have and put yourself out there.

Online:
Reddit has a subforum for universities. You could say you're new and want to meet new people.
Dating Sites:
Sometimes new students will use this to date and sometimes there's an option for just friends, usually the people will make it clear in their profile.

Have fun and be yourself bro!!

Don't worry, you will almost be forced to interact with other classmates in school. More than likely you will have to work on research projects together, discuss topics in a small group, study together, or at the very least ask for notes or something. There was never a class where I did not talk to anyone. It's rather easy talking to people in class because you already have a commonality to start off with. If you want to know more about them ask them what other classes they are taking or what they are majoring in.

Joining a club or sport is an essential part of college-life socialization.

If you don't want to join a club there are many volunteering organization hosted by the school that you can join just to socialize with others from your campus.

I understand how you feel^^, however sometimes you need to talk to them ask them question about what they had to study yesterday that is if you were absent, or if you didn't have a pen or something, the point is that eventually you will have to talk to someone and get to know new people, New is different.

I started Uni last year and seriously dude, everyone is in the same boat as you :p

Are you living at Uni or commuting?
If you live there you will befriend your housemates/hallmates whatever

I mean I commute to my uni, but I've still made loads of friends!
You'll chat in lectures, you'll end up adding people on facebook or you'll be forced to work in groups with people and such so try not to worry.

Everyone is a little awkward and unsure, because it's all so new!

If you're really stuck, and are in a club/freshers event, try going to the smoking area. People
are always chatty in the smoking area

If you want to approach someone on the first day, just do it.
Ask them where they're from, maybe ask a random question like;

"Do you know where the library is?"

These kind of things always work for me

Some guys I met on the first day went to the on campus pub and I just asked
if I could join. We're now friends and now we go to the pub in between lectures and have a right laugh!
They also ended up being friends with loads of people, so it all worked out!

If you want a "special" friend, go to the freshers events. There are loads of girls
there looking for fun if you know what I mean ;D hhahah!

I started uni last year and also went to an art college thing for a year before that, so I've been through the Freshers thing twice
Basically if you're scared of people DRINKDRINKDRINKDRINK!!!! Everything's funnier when you're drunk anyway
Also, depending on your course, you'll make friends in lectures and seminars anyway.
Well maybe not so much in lectures, unless you're not good with silence like me so talk to whoever's sitting next to you
I only had one group project this year and it wasn't very long, so I wouldn't rely on them to make friends, because you might not get any!
Also, you're only in a few hours a few days a week (dependent on your course again, I'm only in 3 days for 3 hours this year, yay!) So yeah, just make the most of your time and be confident! And don't forget that it's about the degree, not being popular

Also, see if there's a page for your university on facebook ADD EVERYONE!!!
Make posts seeing who's on your course and add them then talk about it with them That way it's not face to face so no need to be shy and you can start building a friendship

Freshers is what everyone told me about, but I commute in so I haven't been to any! Haha!

As a person, I'm outgoing so I found randomly chatting easy. But my boyfriend who's really shy, found it hard but be still made friends

(He also never went to any Freshers stuff!)

What are you studying at Uni :)?
