<p>As another busy student I think it does make a difference how close the city is to the school. I love going into Boston, which I will do once every month or two. For schools that are farther the opportunities are not weekly and at the time of the school’s choosing, not the student’s. Being in a more populated area is nice too because there are more local choices - more malls, movie theaters, etc.
Generally there is always something going on during the weekends either arranged through the school or with friends. However, a large portion of the weekend is devoted to sleep and homework.</p>
