Considering that Indonesia is a multicultural country, the diversity of students is a phenomenon that is always encountered. Diversity occurs from regional, origin, religion, language, social strata, and economic level. From this, small social groups are formed, which are always dynamic and change based on developments and interaction between members. This study reveals patterns of interactions that are formed as long as students are in school and the process of life development which for 3 years. After going through the process of collecting data on each level of class, a dynamic pattern of interaction was found from the small social groups. At the initial level, it appears that the formation occurs based on the similarity of the origin of the region. After processing for 3 months, there were changes in social groups. Social groups are formed based on similarities in hobbies, intelligence, and generalife needs. It can be concluded that interaction patterns are formed dynamically, always changing according to the needs of its member.
