It depends what you mean by friends, OP.

In my elite school, I was one of the least wealthy students (there was no financial aid anyway, so I didn't realize this at first), everyone was friendly with everyone else. As an international school, absence of prejudice was especially important.

However, there was no mistaking that students who got together outside of school grouped themselves in some measure by SES. Some families belonged to the same exclusive social/dancing group, others rode horses together, others traveled extensively around the world during the summer. While everyone liked me at school, I didn't feel as if I made close friends there.

This.

This??
They are friendly and there's no bullying   
But the differences between lifestyle and what others have and don't have do come up every so often. Country clubs, Nantucket houses, ski vacations. A lot of families travel together over breaks etc so it's easy to feel a little left out. But no one is mean about it. (We are at STA) [/quote]

Uh I hate to break it to everyone but it is like this at every school, private or public. My children attend private and I went to a public school. This situation is universal.[/quote]
