Apologies for the late response! Making friends in college can be quite hard, especially if you’re a commuter. I lived on campus as a freshman in college, but I still didn’t really make any close friends (aka, people I would hang out with or talk to outside of class) until maybe a year into my college career. Personally, I think the best way to make friends in college is to do things on campus-- especially getting a job on campus or joining clubs. By being on campus more you’ll have the opportunity to talk to other students and get to know them in a setting that isn’t in a classroom. This does require you to go out and talk to people, which can be challenging, but that’s just a requirement of making friends. Keep in mind that you’re not going to vibe well with everyone you meet-- even when you’re going out and deliberately trying to make friends, it still may be a while before you meet someone whom you’re compatible with. Try not to feel bad if the first person (or first few people) you meet don’t instantly become your new best friend. Good luck!
