Since many of us are serious about getting degrees and have career aspirations of our own, we often don't find time for "partying" and the like as well, or just plain don't feel comfortable in that type of "meat market" environment. The problem is, as you say, how else do you meet with other people in a environment that is conducive to fostering potential relationships? I concur with Anonymous #8 that often a friendship will bloom into something else, but working environments are not the best places for this to happen. Frankly, it appears that joining some organization (sports, political, social, ...) is still the best way of meeting other people.
