[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the more the school is isolated, the more kids are actually forced to really attend on campus events.

Read survey results on Unigo. They touch upon this.

Finally, on tours, don't just ask how many clubs there are, ask if they are well-attended/active.[/quote]

Good advice. I know that my midwestern SLAC had a similar number of clubs/activities as some of the larger schools sending college brochures to my kid, but with a fraction of the student body. So students were naturally in multiple activities and were very active. E.g. The intramural frisbee league had teams from dorm floors, or majors, or friend groups, and "everyone" played. Students were hugely involved in the theater scene (directing, acting, doing the sets), and then they got good audience turnout at shows because that was a fun, free thing for students to do on Friday night. Non-music majors participated in the large music ensembles and also started their own smaller groups.

By all means, read reviews and talk to actual students of specific schools to find out how engaged the students actually are. But for me as introvert, a SLAC was an excellent place for being involved in multiple activities and finding good friends.[/quote]
