Wow! Are you going to be using the virtual desktop link? You'll want to be running the PC version of vrc on your headset and not the quest version if you can. 
As for VRC - It runs on a friend based system mostly - Sometimes world links are dropped but if you add "Shammy" and "Yuru" they are often on and will accept random friend requests. 
Weekends are intimidating though, be warned. Loud, drunk, lots of people. Lots of fun... but gonna be wild and hard to get into.
