I just started college recently too, yeah daygame is waaaay easier since the female b*tch-shield is down. I think to pick-up girls at bars easily we must first build up our 'social momentum' ever go out for a night in a bad mood then suddenly you meet your friends, have a laugh and all of a sudden you can talk to anyone and everyone? Thats social momentum, you should go out with this goal 'To have fun' instead of 'To get laid' it takes the pressure off and its harder to be too serious with yourself. At the start of a night out, i'd focus on talking to friends and people who work at the bar/club (Bouncers, cleaning staff, bartenders). Once you have the ball rolling by talking to people you're comfortable with its way easier to start talking to strangers or girls you're attracted to. Thats my view on successful night-game anyway but daygame is easier since society expects us all to be polite and curteous when a stranger talks to us (Girls dont want to come off as sl*ts or b*tches which is why they're usually nice) No harm in getting some good practice in college though, get to know everyone and talk to as many girls as you want, welcome to the forum dude
Peace
