At the campus there are very little women, something like 4 guys to 1 girl, technical university, and they are mixed well into larger groups of people which I do not know how to approach.

As my last relationship ended almost 1,5 years ago I feel it is time for some companionship, both intellectually as well as sexually, of a girl.
Recently I moved to a new city and still know little people, mostly those I do study and live with.
Besides my studies I pratice a lot of sports, both on and off campus.
In the evenings I have gone to a few different bars but have not yet seen and/or met any interesting women.
Since I have never had problems meeting girls naturally through mutual friends before I find myself frighteningly desperate on how to get in touch with those that are completely unknown to myself.
At the campus there are very little women, something like 4 guys to 1 girl, technical university, and they are mixed well into larger groups of people which I do not know how to approach.
I feel daytime people at university are always in a rush, very focused on their studies and people already known to them, in the evenings they might be more open minded but somehow I have never seen those girls I liked at campus at the bars/clubs.
Any ideas how to approach the girls directly at the campus?

We sort of left things on an ambiguous note tonight, but past experiences have made me too old and wise to not see where this is headed. She's got a history of flaking after a certain period of time, so it's not really surprising. And for me, it was one of those situations where it should have worked on paper: Beautiful (like, we couldn't go anywhere without at least one guy making a pass), funny, sexy, great in bed. But it's never felt "right" for an extended period of time, which is one of the reasons I was hesitant to get too involved.
Times like this you're glad you've dealt with these heartaches before, because when they present themselves again, you're better equipped to handle them and sort of just move on with things instead of dwelling. Oh hai, maturity.
