How close to home should an Aggie grad try to build a social network?

Quick answer

Grant likes keeping many frequent activities and gathering places within roughly 15 minutes of home when practical. That makes spontaneous plans easier and reduces the friction required to maintain new friendships. Valuable Aggie events, church, sports or special activities can absolutely be farther away. The idea is not to draw a hard circle—it is to make enough of your normal social life easy to repeat.
