I used to end up, one way or another, hanging out with weirdos prior to university. I'm not expecting the annoying ones, as people in university should learn how not to be annoying by now. All I'm expecting are the ones who find things interesting that others would find boring. Stuff like that. I guess a university is a huge environment and its more difficult to find those people. There should be a weirdos club. :lol:

You're not looking hard enough. There are weirdos all over the place in uni, you just have to look in the right circles. That means art students, engineers, philosophy professors, things like that.

Just hang out with anyone you feel more comfortable with tbh until you made a friend that is like a weirdo, I actually find weirdo's pretty awesome, they tend to be pretty smart (like me).

Some are creative and imaginative (like me).

Some has this certain type of humour (like me).

But yea, most people hide it and look pretty normal at times and plus in university, it seems that they tend to take it pretty seriously (but not all uni is like that). But its a privilege, I would study hard on your subjects and get it done and get a qualification and then you get yourself a good job and become successful if really good.

People are more afraid to be different, as they get older, I guess.

As a university student, I always thought university was jam packed with weirdos.

Universities are weirdo central. That's why they're such fun places to hang out.
