well, start out by helping someone maybe, or just start a conversation by saying, or asking something! im sure that will help. if u hav to do groupwork, ask others if they want to be in ur group. oh and be yourself! have confidence, and remember u r what others are as well. not just that, remember, other students might also be feeling as you are, because they are also new :D

first of all do not be nervous as everybody will be in the same situation. just go there and be yourself, introduce yourself to as many people as you can. usually the uni will set up a house meeting this is the best place to start as you will be living with these people for the next year. Plan a day to go out together either to a student union event or just to explore your new town.
Good luck and all the best

Be yourself, don't feel like you have to join some cliquey group of people - you'll find that they eventually fall out with each other after the first couple of months. But if you have some interests join clubs so that you can meet like minded people.
And don't be afraid to just chat with people, and if someone doesn't chat back it is because they're the ones who are insecure. Move onto the next one. Good luck!

Oh, I have so been there, many years ago.
Just remember u r going off to university, not a social club, so get into your school routine first, and let the rest fall into place.
This way, you'll have some ready 'lead-ins' for conversation and getting to know people, like 'howdya like professor x...'
Agree with others, try out different clubs, activities, play the field, find out who you are comfortable with, who you like/don't like, your limits, etc.
Alot of frosh's haven't quite figured out who they are yet, and maybe this is your case, or not, but univ is an excellent opportunity to find out.
You'll be fine.

I am exactly the same, and was dreading it as I am really shy, but it is not that bad, as everyone is in the same position, just smile, and start some mindless chatter, about something pointless!! The other person is probably thinking the same thing and will be glad you started talking!! and you will probably find it is not as bad as you were expecting.

Be yourself, Dont be afraid to approach someone and say hello, ask them where they are from....
If a group of people are calling someone, take all in but never repeat or join in this conversation, could take u to not so nice places

you dont have to do anything special just feel your self in the position of that time and ask about the university and how did she/he got there and tell joke but dont always think about how to get friend with someone that makes your work harder

This is the perfect oppurtunity! Since you are new you have a reason to introduce yourself!
