Second, if you're still worried about being able to make friends in a new place in your mid-20s... I'm just about the most socially inept person ever (ask dresden for proof,) and even I have more social opportunities than I have time to spare. And I don't even really study much (at all, the past few weeks.)
Yes, there is a sizeable chunk of people who look down at me/see me as curve bait/whatever. I'm fine with it, because all that accomplishes is highlighting the people who are 1.) Massive douchebags I don't want to associate with; and 2.) curve bait for me
