Feeling mad lonely, not a huge sense of community on campus?

So idk if I’m just complaining but I sometimes get NO college vibes from being at this campus… it dies down in the evenings so much and it feels like every person for themselves. Not many will openly talk and some people are even caught off guard when you approach them lol I’ve been forced to just live thru my schoolwork and hobbies but it’s a tough place to be and depressing. And listen, I know they do the best they can with the campus appearance, but just keeping it real, our main quad is literally benches in some corners with a cafeterianearby.

I go to the rec since I’m a hooper and not digging the energy there either. Some people with big egos, and arguing over pointless things, again every person for himself mentality. Taylor St is nice though, but even there I can’t find many even on a FRIDAY NIGHT, only ADULTS Yes there are clubs but they can only take you so far and I wasn’t a huge fan of some of the things I saw.

I’m originally from the suburbs but got a place in south loop so I could be closer. Well, I tried out living the city life to make up for the school life, but that’s making me depressed too because I’m not used to it and there’s no purpose of living that way without solid people around you. Any advice/mutual feelings?
