I can generally be a pretty social guy, I can talk to just about anyone about any mthing. Are there any tips anyone would like to give? Wheres the best place to meet people at college?

Don't spend any more time in your dorm than is necessary for the first week.

Go do stuff, meet people.

If you are in the room, leave the door open.

Go to clubs you are interested in. Leave your door open and hang out with people on your floor, assuming you are in a dorm. If you are at least averagely attractive and socially normal, you will probably get invited to tons of parties during your first few weeks as well, so make sure to go to a few and hang out and meet people.

Randomly talk to classmates next to you. "Oh you mind if we exchange numbers just in case I have questions on an assignment? I wont send you dick pics I swear".

So starting in winter term is definitely more difficult than starting in the fall term. you will probably have an orientation of sorts first week or so, go to that and ask other people there if they want to hang out, grab lunch, whatever.

if you are in the dorms and see someone in their room with their door open and you haven't talked to them yet, drop by and talk to them.

if you see people in common areas and they don't appear to be studying, talk to them.

overall my experience in college seemed like if you reach out to people, its really easy to make friends. if you expect people to reach out to you, well you might have a lonely college experience.

but I also graduated 13 years ago so who knows how accurate this is now.

Sounds about right. Find a nice friend group, exchange numbers, and youre in. Having classes together also helps tremendously.

Basically this

Do I have to promise to not send dick pics?

Because nobody wants to hang out with a liar.
