What part of US are the small towns you're from in? You been to Kansas? You are also a local in your town, aren't you? Have you seen how the other locals treat outsiders or just how they are with each other? Also, if you have been a small towner most your life, you'll probably fit in better right away in most small towns because you have more in common with them. I'm from the city and I'm sure that shows to small town people.
Arkansas.
Yes and no, I was brand new when I went to college, also in a small town, still never had any issues with the locals. One of the local store owners mistook me for one of the jewelry store owners kids once, I fit right in. True I probably would have an easier time fitting in, but I've never seen anyone have issues with it myself.
The only thing I've ever witnessed like what you described was the kids at my college complained about'townies' crashing their parties but I think this was just them being stupid because half the students were outsiders themselves and the college was only a few blocks away from the main road in town.
