Like others have said, it’s mostly a myth. Competition will never preclude people from friendships. I’d say the extent to which competition exists is that if you have, for example, a good resource (e.g. good notes), you’ll be sure that it only stays among your friends because you’re at a disadvantage if everyone else has it, given the curve. Beyond that, it doesn’t affect much and the social scene is normal.
