One thing folks haven't mentioned yet is your Resident Advisor. Get in touch with this person, it's their job to help you accomodate yourself. I was one for two years in college and one of the things I did the most was simply tell people about what what going on on campus, where, and with who. RA's are definitely in the know when it comes down to campus events and organizations. And if they don't know, they can find out. Your RA is a resource, use him/her.
Oh, and not all RA's are model RA's. Some are just in it for the benefits. If your RA happens to be one of those, just go find another one in your hall. You're not just restricted to the RA on your floor.
