"The NYC crowd" at some schools

I heard that a lot of Connecticut schools like Taft and Choate have a distinct NYC sophisticated feel because lots of their students come from New York, as compared to other schools in Massachusetts that have a different vibe because of their location.

Are schools with a distinctive NYC culture usually very cliquey and segregated? Do these NYC kids generally stay in their own cliques or do they mix with others willingly (outside classrooms, on weekends etc.)? The term “NYC crowd” sounds mildly intimidating and I’m curious if I’ll fit in around them.
