No, not religious at all. And I would not call it bland either, as I told I liked it.
But pretty much everyone around you was, well, college student of roughly same age. And plus everyone was focused on math, computer science or something similar. The university itself had other fields of study, obviously, but they had own building so practically you rarely really interacted with each other.
The city it was in obviously had sports clubs, entertainment and whatnot where you could meet non-college students or people of different age or people who study something different. You was not forced to close yourself into some kind university bubble.
But university itself necessary collects similar people at one place. Because everyone there has to be college student and has similar choice of study.
