I'm starting university this year and I'm already worrying about how I'm going to tell people I'm gay =S

I don't want to introduce myself like "Hi I'm Luca and I'm gay". But I also don't want to just leave it and end up with girls asking me out/ gay guys thinking I'm straight, etc.

And to make it worse, I'm going to a bit of a scary place lol. I've spent the last 8 years of my life in the most liberal city in the country, going to a very, very liberal school and living in a very multicultural area. The city I'm going to is notorious for being racist, homophobic and conservative. So I'm a bit scared!
 
you could pierce your ear and tell your new friends once you've spoken to them about other stuff for a while, i suggest hanging with democrats.
 
Find on campus support groups for GLTB and see what the upper class men have done to come out. if there are not groups like this at the school talk to an admin and try and start one im sure your not the only one having that problem. and show your pride around campus by wearing the rainbow ribbon in pin from or as a necklace

you don't always have to tell them straight out. one of the things that i am planning on doing as i am in your situation is just wear something rainbow like. i mean its quite a known symbol for homosexuality, and this will prompt them to ask you if you are or not, without being too straight forward.
