I would wholeheartedly recommend attending at least one of the orientation camps - the Science, Arts and Eng societies all have them around O-week. All of them offer opportunities to easily make friends, even if you know no-one.

Everyone joins the camps looking to have an awesome time, make plenty of new friends, and get ridiculously drunk. Everyone generally achieves all three goals.

Also make an effort to join clubs+societies that attract you during O-week - whether they be sports, music, arts or just faculty related clubs. They are a very good way to meet more friends with similar interests to you and diversify your uni life, and also a very good way to get free sausages and vegie burgers at lunchtime (especially SSS, MUESC and M-ASS)

Most people are really warm and friendly during the start of uni, so don't be shy.
The Finnish word pilkunnussija, which translates literally to “comma fucker,” is someone who risks his social wellbeing to annoyingly and persistently point out punctuation errors.
