Honestly, I was absolutely miserable for the first two years. Eventually I met a couple of really awesome friends. The only advice I can really give is not to write anyone off without first giving them a chance: some of the coolest people will be the ones you least suspect.
As a fellow CS Grad, my one little piece of advice is to just give it some time. You've got a weed-out course coming somewhere after your intro classes, and those left will be the ones that are really dedicated and have the tools to press onward.
This seems like a good insight. It's true that most of the people I'm judging (sounds negative, but I guess that's what I'm doing) are the ones who are quite outspoken. perhaps there are some gems in the rough, just hiding.
