I had one of those soul-mate type friends once... actually, several times, and when we find ourselves seperated because of distance, I spend a long time trying to replace them... to find the same person again. But that can't happen. With every new person I meet, the dynamics are different, and so am I. Be open to new, possible different, friendships.
Are you living on campus? That sould make a big difference in adding females to your social life. My freshman year of college, I chose to live in the girls-only dorm, and the community was great. If you school has an arrangement like this, I highly suggest it. I could tell a big difference, just in atmosphere, between the all girls dorm and the co-ed dorm.
Additionally, the first few days of college will be unlike any you will every have in your life. For the most part, EVERYONE will be in lookingfornewfriends mode. If you can live on campus, by all means do!
