Education: After College

11/5
I've heard from multiple sources that it's significantly harder to find people with tech interests outside of school. I think that this is particularly true if you don't put any effort into finding suitable groups. Websites like meetup.com and other tech gathering/startup meetups are great for finding like-minded people. Of course, it won't be the same persistent environment, but it's better than nothing.

Personally, I find the school environment hard to beat as long as the emphasis is not on classes, but instead crazy ideas.
