Just my personal anecdote: while I still have friends from high school and college, some of whom are important friends to me, my colleagues from my first year of professional work have been life-long companions who come and go regularly, some as repeat colleagues, some as casual acquaintances and some as close friends. You may share certain things with a person at college but sharing a 30+ year career path with someone is also fairly significant.
