How do I tell a guy I just want to be his friend?

Sounds like you've used the right words here. Just explain it to him the same way. If you try to be subtle about it, he might not take the hint.

Thank you. That's sort of what I've noticed with the guy I like, come to think of it. I drop hints here and there, but he seems to just be oblivious. It's funny how women can be experts in the art of subtle hints, but guys go by and don't notice a thing >_>;

As a guy, It's not that I don't notice those kinds of hints I'm just usually too scared shitless to act on them.

Seven words: "I'm gay, and no you can't watch"

That was freaking hilarious XD.

So there's a guy that is flirting with me. I've known him for quite a while, and currently because of our schedules I see him 5 days a week in class. I did flirt with him a little bit at first too, but then I had a moment of clarity and realized I don't really like him that way. He's still a very good friend, I just want things to stay the way they are.

How about this: next time he makes a flirty comment, smile and say something along the lines of "You know, you and Alex* would probably make a good couple. Do you want me to put a good word in for you?". Offering to set him up with one of your other friends is a pretty clear 'I like you but don't want to date you'.
