Props for getting yourself out there Comedian, these are the first baby steps you need to take to get things moving. It's very easy to shy away from going out there and getting shit done, so you did well here.
Some advice - I'd echo what Kowalski said. Just go and chat to people. Don't put any pressure on the interaction, like "oh my god I've got to pull this chick" (I must admit I still do this occasionally). It's about being cool, vibing off people and turning an interaction into a pick up. Oftentimes, what begins as a perfectly normal interaction can be turned into a very smooth pickup.
Also, beware picking up girls around uni. It can get you a reputation and you don't want that kind of publicity. There's even a Facebook group at our uni:
