Do you live on campus? I know it's hard now with tuition prices but it's a good and fairly safe way to learn to be around people. You can also join campus organizations, collage unlike high school is all new people who are all out their on their own too. Most of them are just as nervous inside, some are better at the conversation game, some are just better at hiding their nerves and some are just like you. You are just so nervous you haven't noticed. Just listen, don't think about what to say, just concentrate on what they are saying. Don't worry about what you are going to say, there's no test, no right, no wrong. Grey Thinker had great advice, if nothing else just repeat the last words they said. Since you will be listening you'll be able to do that. These are great days to have fun.
