I would argue that college parties are not necessarily a great way to meet people, most notably the big ones. The main objective for most of these people, excluding DD's is to get wasted! They could care less about making the rounds like at say a cocktail party. not a great place for an intellectual conversation when there are so many drunk people packed in one house you feel like you are suffocating... I guess I'm just more of a small group gathering type of guy, getting hammered is fun once in a while, but it can get old quick and I hate feeling like crap during and afterwards.
As for your question, college is not for everyone and there will always be people there who are obnoxious and who you don't see eye to eye with, but that's life! Get an advisor to help you find some interesting classes, join some clubs that appeal to your interests and from there you can meet people who you share something in common with. Try to get yourself out there any way you can, it doesn't have to be going to house parties or pledging a frat, but just try to make an effort. If you still feel it hasn't worked out, then maybe CC or a commuter school is a better option and if that doesn't work, try online classes. You will feel better having an education, it's important and it gets you places in what is becoming an extremely competitive job market. Good luck
