Be sure to introduce yourself before the end of the conversation.

3. If your campus has other dining places, such as a cafe or a small restuarant, then there will be more opportunities for meeting people. After you've introduced yourself and talked about class, it's the perfect time to ask the other person to join your for a cup of coffee or dinner in one of these places. Once you are at the table, it should be easies to talk about where you're from, what your major is, what you think of the class, whether it si easy or hard, etc. It will be much easies to suggest meeting again in any other places.

You can get a job writing for the school newspaper. Read the newspaper or go online to look for social events. Attend concerts and cultural events. All these help one meet people with common interests in a relaxed setting.
