Why is QMed so cliquey?

Dear QMR, 
Why is QMed so cliquey? 
Sincerely,

Dear Cady,
 Oh, the classic cliques. You would think after leaving high school people would collectively start to grow out of this habit. However, it is not necessarily ill-intended, as it is also human nature to feel secure in a select group of people you know you can be included with. As a wise second-year, I can tell you that the “cliques” will always have some framework in class, but the “cliquey-ness” starts to become more fluid. The more you are exposed to different small groups and participate in different events, the more opportunity you will have to meeting new people. Also, everyone will calm down from the initial first year hype and people will start to open up more. 
 
That being said, be the change you want to see in QMed. If you want to see less cliquey-ness, host a social event that includes many people, such as a dinner party or a games night. Put yourself out there, don’t be worried to step out of your comfort zone to explore other friendships, and help advocate within your class to encourage the whole group to be more inclusive.
 
Good luck!
