This is sad, I feel this way while doing a CS degree at Berkeley and working in front of a computer for UCSF in my spare time.
Instead of just complaining and racking up karma, I propose we meet up at a bar in the city (San Francisco to you non-bay area residents). Who's with me to get drunk and tell nerdy jokes on Saturday night?
I'm totally not kidding. If you need an excuse, call it networking. If you don't, call it partying.
[Edit: I'm down for seedier mission bars, but anywhere is fine if there's enough interest.]
