You know in high school where everyone is pushed to talk to another .... we complained about it, but really it bites you in the ass later. In college no one freaking talks and therefore it's harder to meet people. Other than school and work where are some places to meet people?

Join clubs/take classes (dance, music, theater, sports, etc)
also, check out Use the Internet to get off the Internet! - Meetup.com

I had more social contacts in college than I've had in the 10+ years since I left, so I can't really relate to your problem.

If you go to 26th and Sacramento, you're guaranteed to find a lot of 18-21 year olds.
