You ask this on tours, especially at small town schools. What entertainment does the school sponsor on weekends. Where on campus do kids hang out? Do the dorms have social areas and are they actually used? Are there things to do in town (list things your kid would do at home: movies, bowling, mini-golf, escape rooms, whatever). Check out the list of clubs the school has and see if there are matches for your kid (hacker club, anime, origami, social issues, affinity groups, outdoor weekend adventures, etc.) Those clubs tend to evolve into social groups.[/quote]
