Ok so I star a new college on Tuesday and as sad as this sounds I could do with a few tips on making new friends there as although I'll know some people from school etc I dont have any close friends going...

Smile too, it will make you more approachable and just remember you're all in the same boat so people will be keen to make new friends so everyone should be friendly anyway.
ETA: sorry, a bit long winded but I hope it makes sense.
Ask them questions about themselves and generally get to know them. Try not to be too shy and reserved, I know it can take a lot to break the mould and make the first move (I've been there) but I've bit the bullet so many times now and I've had positive results from people 99% of the time.
You'll be sound, good luck and, as mentioned above, just be yourself!
just wait for some other people like you to be friends with
1. SMILE. So, so important. Permanent small grin.
2. Don't make it as if you desperately want to make friends. Play it really cool.
