Oh yes, I did forget: most departments I'm familiar with usually have a student group in charge of social life, professional connections, etc. They're understandably bidden to create situations to meet people, so this might be a way to party without partying, in a sense. Poke around, explore, walk up to strangers, trust yourself.
