Anyone have any suggestions for how to make friends when one is basically alone in a new city with no money or job (preferably of the female college age variety)?
You build an electronic hypnotic suggestion device and tack it on to the popular radio station's antenna. Suggest a code-word that will make people very friendly to you if you say it. And then just go around saying the code-word and seeing what happens!
Most of the people I've found worth hanging with out have been buddies through work, but if you're currently in-between jobs, I'd try volunteering somewhere. Or even try looking for communities on LJ based in your area--they usually have groups with certain interests or common ideology who'll try to orchestrate meet-ups.
where ever you are go to a bar and buy drinks....that tends to work and tell the girls your new in town and don't know anyone you just trying to make friends
You're an artist. Hit up a coffee shop or an Einstein's or something and start drawin' stuff. It seems to be that people will end up eyein' you and your work over your shoulder or steal glances. Some of them will actually strike up conversation. Then, you've already got something to talk about and you can mention how awesome you are. Insta-friend. And usually, I've found, they're members of the opposite sex.
That's drawing, girls, and bagels/muffins/whatever all in the same outing. All in the same location on the same outing!

...not really. As a non-college aged female that spends most of her time at-home, I've no bloody idea. But good luck!
