As one of the "really awesome friends" that groovy2shoes mentioned, I have to say that he is spot on. He and I were lucky enough to be put in the same group for a software engineering project, forcing us both to forego our usual policy of avoiding other Comp Sci majors.
Other people had luck with clubs (LUGs, 2600), but I always felt like an outsider when I tried to go to things like that. Keep an eye out for the people that seem to keep to themselves, you might find out that they too find the majority of your peers revolting.
Good luck!
