@Much2learn, I don’t know how much you can infer from one student to another: the social life suits D2 to a T- but it would not suit D1 at all! Also, the things I know about are the things my one is interested in- but I know that there are a lot of things that she pays no attention to, b/c she isn’t interested in them. I do know that they sometimes use the Zip cars (fantastic invention- no need to keep a car on campus herself) to go on outings- movies, Target runs, an apple-picking place, etc. I know that there are a lot of performance-based things on campus, and the usual run of college clubs / societies. I know that she (uncharacteristically) enjoys the intra-house competitions. But again- your D may not, or may like totally different things. Really, book her in for an overnight, so she can get an idea for herself.

No, drinking and smoking (of anything) are not allowed in the dorms, and yes, all happen on campus. However, the school seems to thread a good balance between being realistic and keeping a focus on being healthy and responsible.
