It won't mean you will be forever alone, and it won't mean you will end up with a flock of friends. What is your perception of a friend? An acquaintance? When you see the same person again and again there's an opportunity. You will approach some people, some will approach you. Don't make an assumption of being a loner for life, it's actual work, dedication, and compassion to have a friend. There is no clock ticking, friends come and go no matter what age.
However this whole thing can get different if you have anxiety or depression, sometimes it's out of your control, college counselor are available because they know how college can be stressful and overwhelming to students especially if they live away from home
I had no considered real life friends in my first year of college, just a roommate I would sometimes join to eat with a few other people too. Then I moved across state so there was no way we would hang out togehter. I am still in college and some of us do hang out as friends and classmates
