I've never heard of any way to let a man know your're interested in him other than practically beating him over the head with it.

Smiling usually works. Doing all those non-verbal cues (like playing with your hair and so forth) work sometimes. Other than that, you're looking at being outright psychic, and to my knowledge, that does not work.

Well, without approaching him, the best you can do is a nice smile or maybe a wink. Being that you two go to the same college, how about striking up a conversation with him? Does your school have a good sports program? You could mention an upcoming sports event. Do the two of you have any classes together? How about asking him if he knows where such and such department is or ask him if he knows where someone's office is, just to get conversation going?

I have always had this problem with men, I admire them from afar but am afraid to
approach them.
Do you see him hang out in a particular area of campus, like the library or the gym?
If you know where he hangs out then you can make a point to be there and start a
conversation relevant to the surroundings. Make a point to smile and establish eye
contact when you see him.

Just go up and say hi. Seriously. We guys aren't going to laugh at you and gossip to our friends about what a "creep" or "pervert" you are if you screw up an approach like some girls do. Most of us aren't going to say "I have a girlfriend" or "I have plans, can you give me your number?" like most girls. You can say just about anything, and most of us guys aren't going care. We're just happy that you approached.
