Here's the story. I live in Chile, I'm 22 and I'm a 4th year business undergraduate. Most people that attend my university have been raised by somewhat rich families, even more in my major. The thing is, since I first started coming to classes, I've been having a hard time making real friends (deep connections, be able to go to their weddings, etc.) because I just can't identify with their lifestyle and interests, so most of the time i'm just sitting there and not talking to them. Most people in this college are actually very nice, i like them. They are respectful to me. The problem is that they are different to me: they only care about getting ripped and going to EDM-parties, and all they talk about (when it's not about the things former mentioned) is cars and real estate shit and I'm really not into that. I'm very into 70s films, indie rock (I really love music, in an almost obsessive way), books and a lot of other art-related things but I have never met anyone with a similar interest for those things.
It just bums me out that all I can talk with them is about work related stuff, I thought I was supposed to have a great time at college, meet interesting new people and get to know myself better, and sometimes I feel like all I'm doing is just to sit quietly in the class waiting for real life to start.
Maybe I picked the wrong university, but it would be stupid to change universities now given the fact that I'm in fourth year (out of six)
Also, my campus doesn't have clubs dedicated to artsy stuff, all they have are volunteer stuff and some dance related groups.
Pic not related. Just one of my favourite albums from Jim O'Rourke. I didn't knew what else to put instead
Go talk to people at shows or record stores. Talk to people outaide art house cinemas, etc for any interest.
You're just looking in the wrong places. It's rare(nonexistent) for you to find people that like music the way you do unless you are in a place that people of similar interest are also there for (in this case its a show).
Are you allowed to make your own club?

Conce. Trato de nunca caer en prejuicios, ni siquiera de llamarlos cuicos ni eso, creo que eso es muy odioso.
Me cuesta conocer gente en el sentido de que soy pésimo para el small talk y muchas veces causo una mala primera impresión y voy mejorando desde ahí.
Y estoy en la UDD que, seamos honestos, es bien zorrona
Tampoco voy mucho a recitales, porque no tengo con quien ir y porque tampoco me gusta mucho la música de chile (siempre pienso que están un paso detrás del resto) pero tampoco juzgo a los que si la disfrutan.

I really doubt that would work in Chile. Plus I'm not into politics
