Does this depend on the field you are studying? I have 2 bachelors and a masters, all from in-person schooling when I was in my early to mid 20s. I’ve never had any contact with anyone I knew or worked with since leaving the university. Looking back, I can’t think of anyone I would have wanted to keep in touch with.
- MattGaiser 5y agoIt might also depend on your school. My school has a great alumni culture, so randomly messaging other Queen’s alumni to get job intel and a referral is fairly common. My friend at a different school has rarely received a reply doing that. There is no shared bond between U of Toronto people.

- newbamboo 5y agoI think you are supposed to join a fraternity, or skull and bones, or quill and dagger. Think of how much power the Harvard network wields.
- Godel_unicode 5y agoNot really, it mostly depends on ability to network. The main advantage some universities have is the degree to which they emphasize networking. Some fields I imagine do this as well. If you didn't network in college, it's not surprising you graduated without one.
- cubano 5y agoI am almost positive this depends upon how socially active and adept the individual is, and if they specifically seek and join internal societies that work at promoting this sort of post-grad networking. I graduated from the Florida Institute of Technology and although I notice that Amazon is currently loaded with alumni from there, when I applied I received absolutely no "insider help" or whatever from anyone employed there.
