I was on a first-name basis with all 130 in my high school class, and lots in the other classes as well. The town I live in is small (~3000), so it's easy to get to know everyone. Out of those, there's a core group of about 8-10 that I hung out with a lot.
Down at college, I bet I easily know 250+ people -- and wouldn't be afraid to just drop by any of their rooms and chill -- and hang out with maybe 50 or so of them on a semi-regular basis, with a group of about 10 again forming a core that I see regularly.
I try to get to know everyone that I meet, and have them know me. I guess it comes from being the son of a resorting family for the past 11 out of my 21 years ...
