College was the best time in my life. I was on an amazing floor with amazing people, many of whom are still my best friends. It took about three weeks to meet them all, and then at least another month to truly become close. Making friends is not an immediate thing. It takes time and takes work.
Once you make a few friends, have them bring other friends to hang out. A group of friend accumulates through others. Don't feel that you need to immediately know twenty different people - get to know one or two, and let the friends follow. Hanging out with people in your residence hall is the easiest way - just play some music, get some beer, and open up your door - people will flock.
