[quote=Anonymous]The meal thing is the worst! I remember sometimes going to the cafeteria by myself and there were no seats available anywhere. My college even had a "singles bar" area but that was jam packed, too.

He should try to talk to classmates, particularly those that hit before mealtimes and ask if they want to grab lunch. It also stinks that his floor is not an open-door type of place as grabbing floormates to walk to dinner is a natural transition. My best friends from college are all from my first-year college dorm floor.

He should try organizing a floor intramural sports team - something low key like floor hockey. He could go door-to-door and knock and see if anyone is interested in signing up together.

+1 to all the advice about spending as much time in spaces with people like libraries, coffee shops, working a campus job, etc. If there is something like a hiking/camping club that is a really good way to get to know people as your spend hours together, especially if there is an overnight component.
