| Your freshman year floor becomes friends for life. You meet plenty of other people. People go out, go downtown, in groups all the time. When the weather's nice, the entire campus is out on the steps, or on south lawn, sunning, playing football, pretending to work, etc. It's very easy to meet people and there's a real community feel.
I don't know what you mean by "includes graduates and undergraduates". I mean, the grad schools are very close by, and except for the med school, all are generally visible and their students are around, but undergrads have a lot less in common with them and they don't join groups. It's really not much that anyone's missing. But if you want to take a class at the school of International Affairs or something, it's right there.
