My advice is this, make friends early with people on your course. Everyone there knows nobody, don't be afraid to start talking to someone.
I failed at this because I by coincidence ended up living with a girl off my course first year, so I just talked to her for the whole first few weeks. Was annoying when we moved into different modules and I didn't know anyone in my lessons.They don't allow that over here.
Meeting people is quite tough if you don't go out and drink, to be honest. You'll meet a handful of people by chance (people who live near you, maybe in a class) but most of them drink, so they'll leave you behind after 10PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Yeah that is standard here. I lived in private accommodation though, so the uni had no say on what goes there. Even in uni accommodations they can mix genders though.
I think the obvious solution there is to just develop an alcohol dependency.
