Should I keep my connections secret from uni friends?

So due to my fathers position, I can pretty much get an internship at a BB IB whenever I want. I’m also currently at university and have some friends who aren’t as fortunate. Do you think it’s best that I don’t tell them about this? We all want to work in the IB industry and I really enjoy going to networking events and stuff with them, but I do feel that telling them might make them a bit jealous. But they also will eventually find out when I disappear and go to NYC to do my internship, and in some ways that’s kinda worse as it will look like I’ve been purposely hiding it from them.
