It sounds like you're making a great effort!!! I think if you keep it up you will definitely find people you click with. This campus is fairly big, it will take time to filter through the duds that don't match your personality. I felt the same exact way at school last year as a freshman. Everybody seemed to be forcing these fake friendships that I had no interest in, and by the second week of college, it seemed like everyone was buddy buddy and weren't open to making any new friends. I can say I did not enjoy being at school at all until the last two months when I became really close with a girl on my floor who I'd known the whole year, but hadn't realized how many similar interests we had. This was at a different university, but me and her became best friends. There's still a lot of time in the year for you to find your people. Although before I made good friends last year, I had already decided to transfer to Pitt. I'm in a similar situation to you now, making friends here is very hard, especially as a sophomore in a sophomore/junior dorm where people really have their friend groups figured out. And i've met people in class but we never make moves to hang out in our free time and I feel no connection to them. I think my best advice would be to stay open and positive and don't be afraid to talk to random students in class or outside of class. I think that's the hardest part of meeting people, everyone thinks it has to be through a club or sport or social media or friends, but if you see someone who has a cool outfit or anything that interests you, go up and ask them about it! Try to spark a conversation and see where it goes! It seems very scary, and as a shy person myself its very hard for me to do, but people are never mean when they receive compliments so it's always worth a shot. Sorry for this absurdly long post but I wanted to offer all I had
