[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious what people specifically think there is to do in a large city for 18-22-year-olds that doesn't involve drinking and that wouldn't be available to their peers at a campus in a smaller town.[/quote]

Most campuses are not in small towns per say.  Many are rural and don't even have a Target or movie theater within 20 minutes.  Some colleges also don't have big sports teams either.   Compare what you can so at Georgetown to say Frostburg.

And here is a list of things they can do in city areas:

student theater tickets (live theater)
museums
concerts
movies
bowling
indoor bocce
laser tag
shopping areas 
restaurants
river front areas
coffee houses with open mic nights
comedy clubs
tourist locations
sporting events 
hackathons
public performances
get a job outside of the campus
meet kids from other colleges

I think the point is that some rural schools have activities for kids to do, but most don't have a lot and you are left with dorm or frat parties.  Hard to get away from.   My friend's daughter is at Lafayette and she is extremely bored on the weekends. [/quote]
