Went through most of my teen years with some people in my life not even noticing I had a stutter, then in my first couple of years of college(-equivalent-in-my-country) I had a really bad relapse. Like, worse than I remember stuttering as a little kid. I still get like this sometimes. My side rant is when people say it's not that bad. What they mean is it doesn't bother *them*. What they don't see is this: >stuttering itself makes me feel exhausted and out of breath and mentally it’s draining ...and how often I simply don't bother saying something because it's not worth the effort. Anyway, rant done, I digress. There wasn't much I could do to actually stop or improve the stuttering itself. One mildly helpful thing was identifying trigger situations and discussing with friends and family members what they could do to help when I was having trouble speaking. As for making friends in college...I guess a short term thing is to identify what situations are the *least* triggering and try to lean into those. e.g., for me the more people that are in a conversation, the worse it is, so trying to engage with just one or two people at a time could be helpful.
