I've met more people than I thought. Sure they might not be your group of friends but its a good way to start.
i have taken both nightclasses and university classes and the people I meet tend to see you as "that guy from class" and nothing more. They are only there to pass the course and its hard to build friendship from these situations because they only see you "inside" the classroom and have no incentive to hang out with you out of class time since they have their own friends, life, work etc.

No matter how close you get with them during the semester, they will distance away from you after the course is over...the problem is that you were never close to them to begin with so they have no incentive on keeping up with you once the course is over...after all you are still "that guy" they met in class and they will continue to see you as "that guy" until you are able to break the ice and actually befriend them more.

Vancouver is really an introverted city where its hard to befriend ppl...
