Internship in a new town, how do I make friends?

[Spikes]

Hey guys so I was offered an internship for the rest of the summer. Now I'm gonna be in a different state and I virtually don't know anyone. On one hand I think this is a great opportunity to make me a more outgoing person however my problem is I don't know how to go about it. The first thing I've done so far is join a gym, my next move is to join the yoga classes at the gym. However after that I'm not really sure where to go. Any advice/ ideas?

Many places, depends on what kind of friends your looking for, social friends you can meet virtually anywhere.

Work is a great place to start since they are your colleagues. Go out with them to a bar after work, you'll meet people there aswell.

thanks for the advice Korg, I would but it I'm the only intern, and virtually all of my colleagues have kids so there not in the same mindset as I am. but they've been pretty helpful in terms of helping me find a social life where I'm at. @Zac thanks I actually didn't see this article earlier, it was pretty helpful.

really I want people to go clubbing with, I guess mainly because I can't find the time to hang out with ppl during the week. but I also want friends I can hangout with to do non drinking related stuff. but it's seven weeks I don't know how deep a friendship I can make in that amount of time.
