well, with people in your department you tend to have a lot in common, like a lot of times you’re in the same classes and can work on homework together, or at least you’re in the same age group (it’s kind of weird if you’re a grad student and hang out with a bunch of undergrads). plus it’s smaller so you tend to see the same people every time and you can get to know them. going to a student center feels like walking down a busy street. and it would be kind of weird to start up a conversation with a random person because a lot of times they come in groups. or they’re there for a particular reason, not just to vegetate. but i wouldn’t really know since i don’t hang out there enough. maybe if i became one of the “regulars” there’d be a difference.

i bet it depends a lot on the size and general atmosphere of your school.
