I guess I'll run through the ways I met most of my female friends in the past couple years:

1) Through some kind of social group; special-interests groups like language societies, debate clubs, and the like tend not to attract much in the way of femalekind-- I met a lot of my friends currently through participating in the church choir at the Newman center close to campus and through attending Newman center social functions. Go to free dinner events if they're offered; they usually attract people of all types.

2) I met the first two friends I made in college in a dormitory elevator, and both were girls. Don't be afraid to strike up conversation with people you meet in the most random of places. And if you start the conversation and happen to be walking in the same direction, keep it going. Walk with a girl until she reaches her class; don't go out of your way, though, as that tends to be seen as creepy. Ask what her area of study is, etc. If you see a girl who you've seen in one of your classes wandering the campus and get the chance, point out the fact and see if things go anywhere from there.

3) Study sessions. If they're offered, attend them, and if any girls need help, give it.

4) Get a job on campus-- if you're living on campus, definitely work in the hospitality department, as it gives you ample opportunity to meet lots of people, boys and girls alike, most of whom you'll see regularly. I met my best friend (at least while I was living in Oklahoma) this way, and she's a girl.
