When you go to school, find out what the area has to offer and take advantage of those offerings. If you end up in a city, go to every museum or attraction at least once, if you are in a more rural area there will be certain things an area is know for, become an expert on those things. You don't need to go to an art exhibit every weekend, but if you are going to live in a spot for four years, become an expert on that city or town. Often students, or anyone for that matter, become stuck in a rut--doing the same things with the same people over and over again. While familiarity is comforting (Patrick, I am talking to you now) it is always nice to shake things up every once in a while.
Most schools have first class guest lecturers, music concert, or plays that give free or inexpensive performances throughout the year. Try to attend one (or two?) a year. It will add your your experience, you might learn sometime and they are a great (and cheap) date!
