I made a number of good friends in college, and I don't think any were particularly unreliable or shallow- but I do agree that they mostly didn't last. We all went our separate ways, scattered across the world. At least in high school you are all anchored to the same home town- in a big university that draws from far & wide, you don't even have that. Now, I do know clusters of graduates who wound up working in the same cities, and some of them seem to be pretty steady friends. But without that, there is little to hang on to, even if you were good friends.
