...many ways. I used a personal ad long before it was fashionable. I also used ICQ and free websites along with establishing contacts through others. Some of the best girls I found were on instant messaging because most weren't listed eleswhere. Not to mention the potential of your local FSU community, there's tons of women there with girlfriends back home itching to meet you.
I know of several websites where FSU women place all their info for free. Phone numbers, addresses, ect. They're just like the personals you'd see in your city's paper. There is no middle man, you can contact them directly. I'll be a nice guy and even give you one:

Buying addresses is a crap shoot. It opens you up to dishonest agencies who sanatize emails, lumps you in with dozens of other guys who might be buying the address, and in general is the least bang for your buck way of going about it. You need to look under the rocks no one else has.
Buying addresses may well go the way of the social, it only makes money for the agency. For most guys it takes lots of time with meager results. Personally, I think it's a losing proposition. Who wants to pay money for an address anyway? Lends a certain stink to the entire thing.....
