For most people, college is the last chance you have to interact with smart, ambitious people in fields outside your own. You should take advantage of that diversity while you can, as it will pay off both in rewarding friendships and intellectual stimulation down the line.
In my experience, that’s why making friends with graduate students can be really valuable. At my university, at least, they tend to be smarter and more willing to talk about their field than other undergraduates.
I think I found quite a few groups where the group topic was barely talked about outside of formal events. To some degree thats normal and good. It just irritates me when the rate is extremely low.

Not my experience. (Sadly). Most students I interacted with at university were less than interested to talk about subject matters at all.

Probably true at a lot of universities, although it might still be true that you’ll have a better hit rate at university than at most other places.
Yes.
