When I was a freshman these dudes set up a stand across the street from my dorm where you got a free Girls Gone Wild video and a tshirt if you filled out like 10 credit card applications. I got approved for like 5 of em.

Get yer hands on a bunch of applications and send em in. Eventually you'll get approved. Just be careful to not spend money that you don't actually have or aren't going to have before the billing cycle is over. Balances that you can't pay very quickly multiply themselves. I know this from experience. Credit card debt sucks.
