How do you become really good friends with someone at school? I'm talking brotherly bonds, not just friends who occasionally talk.
Walk on teams.
My mom forced me to do running sports when I was in High School. Got me in incredible shape and I met some of the best friends of my life. One is getting a job for me when I graduate from college this year.
College: same thing. Intramurals or join a frat.

What builds strong bonds is shared hardship. That's why sports work. That's why frats haze. That's why armies drill together.
I figured I'd give you the equation as well as some of the solutions, in case there's something more relevant to you that fits the bill.

This explains a lot.
