As you get older and deeper into your professional career, you will discover that responsibility and authority is given not so much based on know-how and technical ability as it is on a person's ability to socially maneuver through an organization. This isn't so much a "kiss-ass" factor as it is the ability to effectively work with different personalities across different divisions of a company.
My point isn't that you need to be out drinking with the other students, but don't ignore the value of staying engaged with all types of people and befriending students that may not necessarily align perfectly with your interests and background. It will become as valuable to you as your tech acumen.
