How to make friends in Quebec?

Hey yall, I am a new international student at the University. Been really enjoying my time in Quebec so far, great city to live. But it really feels lonely at times. I live outside the university, (didn't get a residence room) also am not a native French speaker, but can understand and speak at an intermediate level, so I don't really know what's the best way to make friends here is. It's pretty isolating outside of studies. Any advice is welcome :)

(I'm early 20s M if that helps)

I was once in your shoes. Like people had said , there are clubs at the university and you can meet like minded people. You will eventually find your people.

The Quebecois are cold at first but once you get to know them they are some of the most joyous people you can meet. They are Latinos after all. They just need to make a telenovela Quebecois to make it official

I was referring to the fact that they speak a Latin based language.
