It’s really up to the person.

If you make an effort to find friends, join groups, volunteer/job/involvement opportunity, put yourself out there, then you will find people to hangout with over the weekends and through the week. It may take time(just like anything), but in the end you’ll realize it’s not too hard and you’ll be fine. Don’t be surprised if the first week or so is quiet and lonely (a lot of new students will feel the same way and go home).

However I don’t think this will happen naturally without any effort, definitely for someone shy, a growing experience is needed. If you just go to class and do the minimum to make friends, then expect the weekends to be quiet and uneventful.
