I felt lonely a lot during university, I didn't make any friends (read: uni ISN'T idiot-proof for socially-retarded people); the only people I hung out with were a few housemates occasionally. I think my case is rare because I managed to get through all of university, living away from home, without ever entirely breaking out of that teenage, angsty shyness.

Fortunately, I have always managed to maintain a good relationship with my childhood friends from school, so I have drinking buddies. Still, I regret the fact my adult personality has been formed through experiences of greater loneliness and social alienation, rather than the feelings of liberation and the shrugging off of inhibitions that most uni-goers report.
