It's easy to differentiate yourself from the others if you have the determination to do so. They may see you as an alien or "monster". Your friends may not know you anymore. But what the heck? You are not in the university for them. So, ignore their gossip etc. That shows a vast differences at local and foreign universities.

It is an honor to be in front seat. People will have to wait outside the lecture hall before the session starts. No one will be late except special cases. Don't let this negative attitude stand in your way of knowledge. Get rid of them. Sit in front and ask questions. If a silly question that may clear your doubt, go ahead and ask. Let your peers laugh on you. You are learning and when your knowledge surpass theirs, you can walk tall. You will come to a stage when you feel confident and you will find yourself higher level than your peers. In my university, people are competing for front seat. It is an honor to be in front seat.
