Does it get better?

I’m a current student at AC at the end of my first year. Not sure if it’s because i’m autistic, but despite my best efforts and often burning myself out socialising I haven’t made very many friends or managed to find people willing to even have a conversation with me. There’s a big culture of conformity here and people can be incredibly mean at times, and the gossip culture is overwhelming. It feels incredibly isolating not being a part of the “in group” so to speak, and on top of that I’ve had some of the most difficult experiences of my life here that have outcasted me from the majority of the community (without getting into specifics, it’s mostly drama). When I look online, it seems that everyone has had a transformative, incredible 2 years, and I was wondering if anyone has ever had a UWC experience similar to mine, and if so, is it worth it finishing my last 2 years of highschool here?
