How to find a partner/ Significant other

As I said in the title, I'm wondering how do I find a partner out there as a mtf as i'm really kinda tired really trying anymore as I quit dating apps awhile back as for the most part as it was really much giving me anxiety and most people on them usually just fetishsized me and quite honestly the only significant relationship was pretty crappy and one sided to the point where I kinda believed it was the best option. I guess to continue with the questions is there anyway that I can meet someone without the use of dating app at the very least, I kinda spend most of university studying so never really have any groups and all that to help me with that type of thing.
