Recent study suggests that , a students relationship with friends can be classified into three – tight knitters , samplers and compartmentalisers. Peer group plays a major role in a student’s life and the strength of the relationship shared, is based on the social and academic need. Not only during college life , a friend can act as both resource and responsibility for an individual’s academics achievement says a study. In a research conducted on friendship networking of 67 students at Midwestern University , discovered that students life can be put into three – tight knitters, samplers and compartmentalisers. Students put under the category of tight knitters are helpful and supportive academically and consider their peers as family and trust each other socially. If they lacked academics skill , they had the potential to put each other down. The reason behind this negative deed would be class based inequalities and reproduced race. Students under the group of compartmentalisers have three to four clump of friends who aren’t completely aware of each other. They had their own clump of friends , some for academics and some for having fun but with a good level of balance. They hardly relied on friends for academics than tight knitters says the study. Samplers are socially isolated. They have just one friend rather groups remaining unconnected. They are independent and do not believe in relationships. .
