In modern Western societies, university is a default conformist path to a cushy life. So, don't be surprised to meet mostly ordinary/boring people there. The most curious, independent and interesting young people generally don't go to universities, but instead blaze their own path.

Since you're at the university though, perhaps people majoring in fields with little to no market value could be a more interesting bunch. They didn't optimize for money and safety, but instead for what interests them - that's a good sign (although of course there'll also be plenty of people who only chose a liberal arts major because the workload is lighter and/or they couldn't intellectually make it in STEM).
