I can relate as well. I lived off campus, but I ate breakfast or lunch between classes. I was so deadly serious about my studies that I simply couldn't relate to those who seemed to be just going along for the shits and giggles.
As others have already said, I recommend finding like minded people in your classes or in clubs where you may have an interest. I am terribly shy, and I suspect you may be as well, so it was really necessary for me to reach out to be "found" by people that would engage me in return.
Bottom line though, is that I ate off campus so that I could keep up with my studies without unwanted chitchat. There is a balance that may have been different for me, than it is for you.
