There are cliques but I call it "sophisticated cliques" because although there IS a sense of rejection or acceptance to social circles, there's less drama and less bullying (I think?) There is a certain level of maturity and people are more open to talking to you/helping you out. As for making friends, my school is a city public college in which many of us commute. A lot of us have commitments outside of school. This means less time for socializing. But it's still possible to make friends in a big school, I just tend to be the loner. Not that people make fun of me on a regular basis like they did in grade school but there may be some upsetting event once in a while (in my personal experience).
