Your question is a bit perplexing.
- Smart people implies that there are stupid people.
- Your difficulty of finding smart people implies that they are few and rare (in your vicinity).
Conclusion: You'd should perhaps ask yourself which category you truly belong to. Or maybe you truly were the only smart person from your collage...
When I was in collage I met a lot of smart people, they were good at different things.
Protip: What do you mean with "smart"? Good at mathematics? Programming? Social skills? Ambitious? Often when people want to hang around "smart" people they confuse them with "rich people with lots of connections". And those people ain't necessary smart yo' they be dumb as a door knob. Privileged however.
