i met a bunch of folks going to school that I'd never have met if I didnt go (different social circles). still chat with a lot of them 25+ years later.

It's not that there aren't unique people to meet there, I know there are, but if the problem is not introversion but rather interactive mental skill, throwing new people at the problem won't fix it. Every time someone says they haven't been able to make friends, people of the previous generation almost seem fixated on suggesting it's all that person's fault.
