I always thought Uni would be full of interlectuals and i could sit all up talking about obscure music, listening to Glenn Branca records. As it turns they are a bunch of boring dumbarses that know nothing outside of who won Big Brother. This Uni seemed to be different and seemed to be attracting (mainly because of the Art, Drama and Music courses) people who hopefully will be a bit of fun.

I think there comes a time when you have to put aside taste (or at least not put such an emphasis on it) when it comes to the company you choose to keep. I've met people who've had so-called "good taste", or at least I thought so, but I would never want to be around them for an extended period of time. On the other hand, I've met people who've had pretty bland taste in most things related to music and art, but the company they keep more than makes up for it. So while it's great if you can find someone who you have a lot in common with in that department, it's not always the best thing to base friendships and other relationships on.
