Has your son visited other campuses, or has he committed to another school already? Personally speaking, committing to a university without having visited seems like a risky choice. Are his sensibilities more in line with an urban environment? Suburban? Rural? I could see city-minded kids having a pretty big adjustment. That said:

Things to do in Blacksburg: movie theater, farmer’s market, escape room, restaurants, some seasonal events and live music opportunities.

Things nearby: hiking (cascades, bald knob), tubing, kayaking (new river).

Things through VT programs: a club for virtually any interest, rec sports, - check to see if Venture Out is still a thing… they used to organize local trips for canoeing, kayaking, caving, rock climbing.
