I think joining a group of people is a great way to make new friends around an interest and that's usually industry agnostic. Usually if I hear someone surfs, I'll invite them to surf pretty quickly and then follow up later about actually doing it. I've made a few really good friends this way. College is interesting because it's forcibly social. Everyone is happy to make new friends but in the professional world, I've found just the opposite to be true. People are pretty set with the friends they have, most people seem to want something from them, many think. That's why I really love making friends around interests because you start as that as your base rather than the commonality of an industry.
