Hey, so I have to add. There is usually something interesting about most people you meet. It might not even be on your radar as a thing that's cool or to look out for, but I don't think classifying people as interesting or not interesting works (not sure if that's your intent tho). E.g someone I know who followed a very classic path showed me how to execute with relentless intensity (which can be translated elsewhere). Another mechanical engineer I know was refreshing to be with because he was very grounded as a result of his religious practices but still had a modern attitude.
"Everyone is interesting" isn't wrong but also not 100% right, which is why I talk to everyone no matter who they are, how they look like, or where they come from. But when I mention "interesting," it's mostly the type of people who are where you and I met.

In that case you might want to email interesting profs of other unis, I found a lot of helpful, insightful people that way.
