[MENTION=20359]Cuddly[/MENTION], regarding the clique thing at your school: go to the teachers about it, or to the dean of whoever it is that has the authority on this and explain it to them. I don't fully understand how this thing works there, but it is not normal that your peers can just refuse to work with someone in a group assignment when that results in that student to fail grade or having to do the work of 5-7 students on their own (or in 2).
I am well aware how much load gets put on group assignments in architecture. We also had to work in groups numbering 4-5 at times, and there was no way you would have done it alone or in two.
Bring this issue up with your teachers. The sooner you do it the better. They usually understand human issues and all kinds of other problems springing up along the way. But if you don't inform them in time then later on there might not be anything they can do at all.
My problem in college was my inability to get up in the mornings, I couldn't do it on a long term basis. It ended up fucking up my studies extensively. Until I finally went to the office and explained to the administration what my issue was. And they understood, and helped me work out a solution.
If this type of clique behavior starts affecting other students' grades then it is not to be tolerated. Some authority figure has to set things in place regarding that if you can't do it among yourselves.
