Friendship is Magic, guys.
Anyway, you just have to make the effort at uni. For example, on Friday - if I hadn't talked to a girl before my English lecture last week, I would've sat on the bus and not talked to anyone and probably might've looked at her and thought "She must be an Arts student".
But, I made the effort to talk to her last week, randomly saw her in the bus line - sacrificed a few spots and went to talk to her. That bus ride was many, many, many times better than it would've been otherwise.
Just make the effort...

Yes. If you want to do anything, you need the initiative
Talking to people may be hard at first. It may be uncomfortable but then it won't be of benefit to you if you don't have any friends.

The only thing I hate is taking this scif 1101 class (which I'm thinking I might drop) and expensive food. Otherwise, it's where I want to be, I'm studying what I love and everything is pretty ace.
I travel 2 hours just to get to uni everyday, if I truly despised it there's no way I'd put myself through a 4 hour commute 5 days a week. Trust me, for those of us who have plenty of travel time, you'll come to appreciate it on the days of exams. You've got a pretty quiet environment where the chance of anybody bothering you is close to 0%. No distractions (unless you look out the window) and you do it to pass the time. Pretty great way to do some last minute revision. Also, if you forget to do your readings, just do them on the commute, and it's all still fresh in your mind when you get to your tutorial etc.

Speak for yourself I too travel 2 hrs both ways yet my train is always overcrowded or full of kids blasting their music on almost every carriage.

I dislike university as well. I haven't put my finger on it 100% as to why this is yet, though.
It's not that I don't like my degree; I don't mind learning it, and I most certainly don't mind working in my field (I work part time), so it isn't that I don't like the area of study I'm in.
In terms of the social aspect, I do ok - a lot of my friends I made since starting uni (my cohort is more or less like a school-cohort, 200 people, so it's more or less the same). Plus, there's 100+ people that I knew from high school at uni, so that helps.
Personally, I think it's because the exams and shit are weighted so heavily (often 80-100%), and I don't perform terribly well in exams (exam anxiety issues and whatnot). Meh. But as I said, haven't 100% figured it out yet.

You can make friends whenever, there's no cutoff...

well the subjects change each semester, so you will have different classes and lectures, hence you hav chance to meet new people next sem too.
I also hated the SCIF 1101 course and dropped it at the end of week 1. It is very socially orientated that I can't take seriously. If you really want to drop it, you should do it soon because you will miss out on a lot of content for the course you will want to pick up.
