I'm a sophomore in college. It seems as if most sophomores solidified their close friend groups based on the people who lived on their floor in the dorms. My floor was really anti-social, so it was difficult for me to find community amongst them. Also, my school is gigantic and I spent most of freshman year feeling lost and lonely. I'd like to change that this year. 

I do have some friends here, and I know how to make friends. That's not the problem. The thing is that I don't have a group that I can fall back on. When I want to hang out with people, it's only possible to hang out with them one-on-one or at most with two at the same time because my friends don't know each other. I can always call a single person up for a coffee or a meal, but like if I were to host a sleepover with 4-5 people, this wouldn't be possible. 

Also, most of them have their own tight-knit groups already, and it's pretty hard for me to break into their existing circles. 

Yes, I know that I can introduce people to each other, and I have tried, but really, each friend that I have is pretty different so this approach doesn't really work simply because they don't mesh well together (different personalities, interests, styles, etc). 

At the end of the day, I just want a group of 4-5 people that I can kickback with, know that I can count on them, and also just feel like I belong to a small community. You know, people that I can have weekly get-togethers with and not have to deal with the awkwardness of people not knowing each other well or not getting along.

But how do I achieve this?

I want to make friends and establish a small community in college but don't have a group of people that I can call on for social
