I heard this about university, and here it is again about startups.
Counter-anecdote from me: I never made any long-lasting connections at college, and I never made any long-lasting connections at a startup, either. (And I've worked at ~10 of them.)
Instead, my only real adult friendships have come from either working at bigcos, or from extra-curriculars (e.g. social hobbies, sharing creative works and then meeting people who liked them, etc.)
