^ so you are saying college is not that great?
Absolutely. The landscape has changed from how things were for our parents' generation.
Just like with everything else; the job market, the economy, etc., they were able to get it while the going was still good, leaving us with burned out remnants of a place that's no longer conducive for meeting chicks.
College today is a different animal. Cliques reign supreme. Not really what you'd call "social circle game", it's more like closed-off-social-circle-game, minus the game.
The bitch of it is you still need that piece of paper. Most of us go to college as a necessary evil to get it over with.
As a fellow transfer student who graduated, I can tell you wholeheartedly that things could not be any tougher than as a transfer student with 2 years done already, going to a four-year school. Those rare few chicks you could date and dudes you could befriend, who aren't there with their high school cliques or huge crews of friends; - the cliques have already formed with them as well.
I befriended this one dude in a class who did nothing but complain about how much George Mason University sucked, and how he was finally starting to get a foothold socially and was getting the *in* on a few parties, but even when I'd call HIM about chilling on the weekends, etc., - nothing. Voicemail left, nothing.
I'm sure you'll see stuff like this if you haven't already.
And don't believe those studies you see that say girls vastly outnumber guys at every college. Horseshit. Those studies are done from statistics alone without anyone setting foot on a college campus. And yeah, in some cases they may outnumber guys, but you wouldn't see it. They'd be off in their little cliques and at frat houses, sorority houses, and tons of house parties that you wouldn't be invited to.
Colleges are increasingly becoming sausage-fests due to the social stigma of guys not being able to produce, earn decent money, and provide, in a shit economy.
My advice to you: work on developing yourself socially overall, in a general sense, and get college the fuck over with. Are you near any big cities on your campus? Go there.
Sure, you can hang around campus and approach random group of people to make smalltalk, and they'll all look at each other like, "What the fuck?!" -while the girls will pout their lips and stick their noses up in the air.
That's not real-world. You may as well train yourself in more realistic environments. The guy who said "real-life will be just as bad for you if college sucks" is full of shit. My whole time I was at college I wondered, "What the fuck is wrong with me? Am I ugly and don't realize it as no one ever told me or something? Am I socially awkward or something?" Then I get out of college and actually have hot girls approach me at bars and clubs.
Thankfully, I had Washington DC to go to while finishing up my 4 year degree.
Do something like that. Then, if all goes well, you'll be able to hit the real world HARD when you're out of school.
Peace.
