I'm in college, and girls go out in groups, usually at least two, more likely three or more.

As of now my tactic has been to talk to the friends, and be friendly before trying to take a girl to my place. This doesn't work as often as I'd like.

And tested expressions or methods to get pass this sticking point?

Hey man, there are entire chapters in seduction books dedicated to "isolating the target"... it doesn't necessarily mean taking her to your place, just getting her to part with her friends, at least temporarily... according to Mystery Method, this happens in the Comfort phase... this means you must build trust and comfort before separating her from her group... if you have built enough trust and connection, the most absurd pretext to leave the group will work, going outside for a smoke, moving to a quieter part of the club, sitting down for a few minutes on a couch... If you are successful in separating her for a few minutes from the group, you will stand a better chance to take her home... isolation is the acid test of pick-up... it will allow you greater freedom to kino escalate and k-close...

My advice, grab some good seduction books and check the isolation chapter... enjoy and good luck!

As recommended I read the Mystery Method. His approach appears a bit coy. I'm aggressive and direct by nature, do you think by acting as he recommends, I would come off as incongruent ?

I have considered using a phrase along the lines of, "I will make sure your friend is safe, either she can sleep at my place or I will see it that she makes her way home."

I figure that its obvious I want to hookup up, so maybe honesty is the best policy.

Most girls would prefer if their friends didn't know when they hook up with a guy... ASD could beat the desire she has to sleep with you... her friends are more likely to cock-block when they know she's leaving with you... BUT, if she already spent some time alone with you, her friends may leave and she'll stick around with you, increasing the odds of hooking up... also less likely to be cock-blocked in this situation... Mystery's approach is more "socially acceptable" for lack of a better word...

I suppose the main take away I got from it was small and gradually changes of location.

Basically, take her from one room in the party to another room, then outside, then to a restaurant (fast food), next to your place, followed by your living room, and then your bed.

Although for mystery he doesn't seem to mind, but to me this seems really time consuming, realistically how quick could you get from point A to Z?

Mystery claims that a Venusian Artist with tight game can get a girl in bed in between 4 - 10 hours of meeting her... quite frankly, the fastest for me was in the range of 4 hours, so I guess there's some merit to this observation... The exceptions would be the drunk and/or slutty party chicks... You could save some time by targeting this category...

I'm in college so that's my usual demographic.

LOL that's a good one... so aim for the 4 hours or less... just keep in mind that with a different demographic (young professional women) you may have to re-calibrate your style...

Aww. My heart goes out to you. Can't believe a girl won't go to a complete stranger's house so that you can fuck her. What a bitch. What a cow. Christ you all come across as so bloody desperate. It's pathetic. Go fuck a hole in the floor if your in such a frenzy for a bit of sex.

^haha somebody hasn't been to college
