Echo'ing what everyone else has said. You can start over and since no one knows you dont be afraid to "get out there." Put your worries aside and just try and be social. Yea, I know its a lot easier said then done, but this is what you gotta do.
Clubs and study groups will be crucial in your ability to meet quality friends who have some of the same interests as you do.
I disagree with the "permission to get loaded" statements though, You dont want to over do it and come off as a drunken asshole.. (Not saying this is you or anything just a warning).
A good tip if you are staying in the dorms is while you and roommate are both in the room have an open door policy invite people on the floor over for drinks or to play games watch tv etc.
Good luck breaking outta your shell. and enjoy college.
