"real skills": not sure what you mean by this. Later you say "useful" and "different", is that the intended reading of "real", or is it advice to ignore the poseurs?
"make friendships with really smart people. So get out of the dorm room or the library and be social."
In my experience, those "really smart people" didn't get that way by the abundant time spent not studying, so isn't more likely that you will find the smart people studying? just a thought.

Real skills as the skills I didn't learn in poli sci classes. I went to Yale - there were tons of smart people who were almost never in the library - for example Justin Kan and Emmett Shear
