Social Life as an Engineer?

Hey! So I’m currently a Senior in the College of Engineering. I really do love Cal and everything it has to offer, but I’ve honestly had a pretty dull Sophomore year. Freshman year was amazing and I managed to make a lot of friends with different interests but things have gone pretty downhill since I moved into an apartment. Firstly, the workload is understandably pretty rigorous and not a lot of people have time on their hands, but I get the feeling that some people in the engineering classes are way too intense and are not really looking to make new friends(I could of course, be completely wrong about this). I did end up meeting some new people in clubs but I guess they were more like acquaintances. On top of that, I guess I do live pretty far from most of the population( I live more towards the north of the campus), so it gets kinda annoying to go all the way to the South where all the activities actually take place. So I was wondering how exactly you guys found your community within Berkeley?
