When I was in college I did. But if you're having trouble making friends, and that's why you asked, you should really consider getting active on your campus. There are tons of organizations you can join, and you're bound to meet some cool people that way. Start by looking up organizations on your school's website. They're always looking for new members and you'll have a good time. You don't have to join a big one. Join a small one and have fun. Don't wait for life to happen. Do your best to try and make it happen.

I made wonderful friends at college, and they have remained friends as we've continued through our lives.
If you are asking that question, I'm assuming you are struggling with this? Remember that your needs may be different than others--some people are only happy when they are surrounded by a large group, and others are happy with just a small number of friends.
Can you have a coffee with a classmate after a lecture to discuss what was covered in class? Could you attend a speaker, recital, etc. and make eye contact with others who are also enjoying the event--and say hi and make small talk during intermission or afterwards?
If you live off campus, could you move onto campus so you are more easily surrounded by people and it's then easier to meet others? If you have lunch or a coffee, can you ask someone else who is sitting alone whether you could sit with them?
Join a club, volunteer to tutor, work for the campus newspaper--these are all the usual routes for meeting others with common interests.
If you are quiet and shy, you might have to take a deep breath to talk yourself into stepping out and reaching out, but it's better than sitting alone feeling miserable.
If all this is really difficult for you, is there a teacher who you are close to--he or she might be able to suggest another classmate that you could pair with for a study session, and that would give an automatic opening to talk to that other person.
Good luck. Friends are important and it is worth it to work at finding and creating them.
