Students at University of Houston tend to stay in cliques. Cliques of muslims, cliques of african-americans, footballers or just two people joined at the hip who attend all their lectures together and basically one is never far from the other. This may be due to the diversity and probably the sense of wanting to stick to who one is comfortable with.

A foreigner who is used to being without a swarm of friends and probably an introvert would feel out of place here.
