Social interaction is implied in post-secondary education. If students live, eat, and study together, it's tacitly understood that they will avail themselves of each other's company. Unless they loathe other human beings and are insufferable snobs. I'm no social butterfly myself, but even I feel the need for human company now and then. It really is the right way. It doesn't have to compromise a good education.

I do feel the need for human interaction as well, but have it dropped on me as mandatory activity during lesson time and instead of learning something felt like a pointless waste of time. Partially because I like to learn and hate activities, I see no point in. (I'll not go into the area of it being discriminating against people with a bad vision and no depth perception. I learned to put up with that when my parents signed me up in a real 'Gymnasium' instead of keeping my on the special school, I was in.) It was incompetently organized, the weather was... inadequate at best and the only fun I had in this 5 hours of my life, which I will not get back, was a brief discussion with one of the geekier members of my class about the merits and issues of different browsers. It was a giant useless waste of time, I had to put up with, pierced by occasional sadism of the teacher.

BTW: Some NTs even participated less than me.
