I went to NYU as well.. and actually commuted from Queens as well! (Did we go to the same CS classes as well?!!)
When you graduate from college, it's a whole whole different ball game. Most people lose touch with their friends from college, regardless of whether they dormed or not. Everyone gets a job at a boring Corp. Everyone eventually stops partying until 1 AM in the morning. Everyone eventually starts worrying about paying the rent, and all the "adult" things... trust me, by the time you graduated, everyone starts from Step 1.
Now go build a startup, so you can got an escape hatch after you graduate ^_^
