I had a similar experience when I was in Yokohama for a language course. The other participants in the course were all rich kids from ivy league schools. This program was expensive, but I was the only one paying for the program with my own money. That combined with the fact that I hadn't gone to an ivy league school separated us. I felt very isolated. But none of that had anything to do with why I was there. It was lonely for a little while, but I was there to study and I concentrated on that. Eventually I made friends with like-minded people. Do not let close-minded people distract you from your goals.
