how long have you been out of college and do you still keep in touch with your college buddies?

Most of the people I knew were acquaintances.... I admit I don't try to savor the relationships and make it blossom into something deeper so it will continue to fizzle into nothing. I guess I should start being more active more facebook or something since I haven't even been replying to people. :/

Graduated in 04 and talk to the close friends I made during college at least 1x/week.

Don't talk to any of them. Actually, haven't spoked to anyone from high school since about a year after I graduated high school

I've got my college acquaintances (people who I hung out with class and stuff) on myspace and we trade the occasional message.

with the people who I was really friends with (ie: hung out outside of school with, went to spring break together, had vacations during the summer with, etc), we get together a couple times/year, depending on all of our schedules and whatnot.

I'm probably better friends with my friends from high school than my college friends, but I don't talk to my school friends / acquaintances from high school whatsoever.

(for what it's worth... graduated hs in 1999 and college in 2003)

kept in touch with 2-3 college friends over the years. recently i found a few more on linkedin.com, which was amazing. may be a good place to reacquaint yourselves with old friends to extend your network.

5 years, and there are a few that I've really kept in touch with. Call me a dork, but we have a (e-)mailing list that we use to communicate.

5 years, I haven't talked to any of them since then really. I do wonder what some of my old friends from junior high and high school are doing these days though.

Graduated in '00. Still email my roomates/best friends on practically a weekly if not daily basis.

In fact, two of them are probably coming over this weekend to mess around for a few days.

For those who aren't in touch with their college acquaintances/friends, whom do you guys hang out with? Friends from work or something?

Will "graduate" (god willing) in May and don't plan on keeping in touch with anyone. Don't know that many, and not close to anyone.

I keep in touch with most friends from college through facebook usually. I go down to visit a few people (former roommates, close friends) about once every two months, and play regularly with a few on XBL.

As far as HS goes, I keep in touch with three people, and I don't see them often.

I don't keep in contact with any of the people I knew in high school or from college. I see some from both places on occasion; but it's not like I go out of my way to visit them.

I still keep in touch with former coworkers who I used to hang out with a lot.

I met my best friends in middle school. Went to high school with them. Was close with them through college and regularly saw them. And we regularly see each other now, maybe once a week.

And they're all going to be the groomsmen at my wedding next year.

I graduated less than 3 weeks ago and haven't talked to anyone since college. I was basically a shut-in heh.

I keep in touch with 2 or 3 people from high school.

Graduated college in '96. I was just the best man in my friend's wedding. He's really the only one I keep in contact with though.
There's one other I see about once a year.

I still see 1 person I went to high school with. I'm in college still and I only talk to/keep in touch with 2 people on a regular basis.

I drifted away from the friends I made during my freshman and sophomore year in high school during junior and senior year. And now I don't talk to anyone I met/lived with in the dorms during my freshman year of college. (sophomore now)
