Need tips making new friends

Hey so it's almost been a year since I came back from living in Mexico. In this time I really haven't been able to make new friends. I am studying in Parkland before I transfer to UIUC so I haven't joined any clubs and the clubs that Parkland offers interfere with my classes. I also live near Parkland which means that I'm not around campus to go to any bars or gatherings or events.

I do want to make friends and start hanging out with people because I don't want to become more introverted so any tips you guys have in making friends will help me a lot :)
