-having grown up (and going to first 6 grades of school) in a small village with very tight community. -going thru 5 years of boarding school with very strong alumni traditions (kind of sect actually) -6 years of going to college and living on campus of a large University -living in a foreign country with very tight immigrant community of 'my country people' for the past 8 years I can say that yes, unfortunately and surprisingly, friendships and relationships are born out of and maintained mostly thanks to proximity and necessity.
