Yeah, that book sounds like complete and utter BS if you actually want to find a girl worth talking to. Maybe if you just want to go out and bang chicks, it'll work, but I doubt it. Real, quality women don't put up with game-playing bullshit or guys who think they are pick-up artists. Period.
The key to meeting quality women is meeting quality people. And in college, there is definitely more opportunity to widen your social circle. Join activities you like. Get involved. Volunteer. Intramural sports, hall council, student government, academic student groups, community service groups, etc--these are all great ways to meet people in general. Don't sit in your dorm room and expect people to come to you, though admittedly having a cool gaming console, games, and a nice TV doesn't hurt your chances of having people come to you (just make sure to lock up your room). Mostly, though, it's just about putting yourself out there, which is what you should be doing as a freshman anyways. Don't rely on your classes for making friends either, though definitely try and pinpoint who in your intro classes are also in your major. Eventually, once you get that good circle of friends going, they'll introduce you to girls they think you'll like. The biggest thing you can do for yourself is to become good friends with a girl, and not worry so much about meeting Ms. Right or Ms. Right Now. It's been my experience that when you go out with the mindset of meeting one of the above, you're doomed to fail, but if you just go out to meet people, the person you're looking for will fall right into your lap.
