I'm in university so most of my classmates are pretty geeky. As a result I know like 5 or 6 cubers. That's only in the course I follow!
You are lucky. When I started a multimedia class in college (which we start around the same time as you start uni), almost the entire class were people who were always partying outside classes getting drunk or stoned every weekend and most people looked like such people too. I was sure it would be a class of mostly geeks lol.

I pretty much started going out on a regular basis only after I turned 25 or so. (Although I did it for a while when I was 20-21 too)

Multimedia class is basically "how to start making movies" to most non-geeky people which is a get rich quick scheme.

LUCKY!
I don't go out I'm 15 xD
Keep trying.

I never went out and I'm 17. :P Usually people of my age tend to hang out, just not me.

So I'm trying out Teflon lube. Turns out great (better than bike lube) on my modded and sanded Rubik's.
Oh also my average is around 1'05" now and I do a lot of sub-1 minute times. :D

Found two reasons to get into cubing :
  • boredom in the tramway (instead of peeling my fingers, I'll cube)
  • training my memory learning algorithms (I don't think I'll be able to create algorithms anyway, and my memory really needs some training)


So I bought a stickerless official Rubik's Cube, broke it before I could solve it*, bought an official one with stickers but with metallic screws, got fed up with it being stuck when one face was not aligned by 0.001 degree, and finally bought a Dayan Zhanchi.

That means that you can count me among the cubers now. But you'll have to wait before I join the speedcubers, my record must be something like 5 minutes when I am lucky.

*When I say "broke it', I don't mean "popped it", because popping usually happen on a corner or an edge. But here, it was a middle face that went away (and the 8 parts around it went away too since they depend on the middle face). And when I tried to get it back in (with or without the 8 other ones), it just didn't want to stay in place.
I own: 83+ ; 84+SE ; 76.fr ; CX CAS ; Prizm ; 84+CSE
Sorry if I answer with something that seems unrelated, English is not my primary language and I might not have understood well. Sorry if I make English mistakes too.
