'Belong in' versus 'Belong to'

[Tom]

Hi

Would you say that the use of in is correct here?

1- He belongs in a different world!

Shouldn't it be to?

Not necessarily, Tom. Using "in" expresses a sense of location. i.e. where he belongs/should be.

Yes, you can, Tamara.
It more or less means that she should be in the teaching profession.
