This is great advice. I'm generally fairly introverted, so this is something I could put some effort in to and hopefully get some results.

One thing I need to make more of an effort in is to meet people outside of school. I should, and will, look in to some local meetups and things of that nature to meet people.

Thanks a lot for reading and commenting!

Don't be afraid to venture outside of student groups either.

Most areas have user groups of various sorts. Don't be afraid to attend user groups for technologies you're not necessarily interested in right now.

Good geeks often have broad interests. You'll be surprised at the number of .Net developers at a user group meeting who also hack Ruby and Python, and know their way around a Unix command line.
