<p>My S has a very active social life (and many new friends) that revolves around …fun. Yes there are intellectual conversations aplenty, but there ethnic restaurants, movies, parties, plays, music, exploring Chicago, and just hanging out and laughing. S has compared notes with friends from Duke, Stanford, Harvard, and Yale over the break and has found he has had as good and often a better time than any of them. He and his Chicago friends have kept in constant contact over the break and all can’t wait to get back. His east coast friends even got together with other Chicago friends to party over the break. Doesn’t sound too much like a keep to yourself group to me.</p>
