Take part in group meets, there are websites online that can help facilitate this. Some are free, the ones that aren't are usually a pretty low fee and that fee typically goes to some kind of activity.
I know you said you don't have time for a part time job, but consider volunteering at a charity. You can usually volunteer time in shorter blocks than what would be required in a part time job. And volunteer for something you're passionate for, or at least somewhat care about. It will give you something in common with the other people there. Volunteer at an animal shelter if you want to meet girls btw, you'll probably be cleaning up shit though.
Buy things and then return them a few days later. Obviously don't buy a couch and then try and return it, but buy a pack of pencils or something. This isn't a real big solution, but if you haven't had any social contact all day this will get you at least a few minutes of interaction. Also don't try and chat up the sales associate for a long time, they have a job to do. Just make some small talk in the time it takes to run your transaction.
These are some of the things I did to overcome depression, anxiety, and just general isolationism a few years back and they helped me out of a rut.
You could also do things pertaining to your interests. Join a book club, math team, or chess club. If you university doesn't have them, start them. Just try and get out though, it'll do wonders for your mental well being.
