My vote goes to living in dorm for AT LEAST your freshman year. It sounds good to have your own place, but if you are looking for ways to meet new people, then I would strongly suggest living on campus.
A lot of good suggestions have already been made, but there is one more than I thought of that might help you out. Get a job working with people your age. Not only will you get a little extra cash, but you will be put in another setting where you can meet people. Besides, a little extra cash goes a long way in college.
