It's important to visit campuses, speak with current students, and do thorough research to see if each school's atmosphere aligns with your social and academic goals.

Additionally, remember that college is a time to challenge yourself academically, grow personally, and prepare for your future. Try not to prioritize the social scene over your education, as the academics are ultimately the reason you're attending college. That said, finding a balance between academics, extracurriculars, and social life is important, as you want to fully enjoy your college experience. Good luck with your college search!
