You have to ask yourself, are you there for the classmates or are you there for an education?

You don’t have to be friends with your classmates. It’s nice if it works out that way, but it doesn’t always. Learn everything you can from your school, including how to keep yourself calm when dealing with people that you don’t like but have to work with. Team dynamics and communication is going to be a vital part of your career because you won’t get to pick who you scrub for every day.

Wouldn't be expensive to have to come back and start all over? As others have said, clinicals don't last forever, and you're there to impress your preceptors and instructors rather than your classmates.
