Those initial friendships are made very quickly and are primarily created because nobody knows anybody. You make friends with whoever is in close proximity to you (usually those who live in your dorm, in your wing/suite/room) just to have human contact. Eventually, you really get to know people and the friendships that develop then are based on more things that you have in common, not just "we are lonely and these people are humans to hang out with". The friendships that were made out of convenience can fall apart if there was no real substance to them in the first place. That's my theory anyway.
