Friendships are formed through shared experiences. College dorms by definition have college-aged people, at the same early stage of life, enrolled at the same college, living in the same closed-world social environment. A lot of them will take the same classes, go to the same parties, know the same people. Even if you happen to have a dominantly one-dimensional self-identity (like "gamer" or "single parent") in the adult world, it seems nearly impossible to come close that.

In the suburbs people seem to get to know their neighbors but in my experience people living in cities often don't. Living in a share house would be a step to knowing more people living nearby and interacting with them forming friendships.
