It's not all that often that the twins have reason to go off-campus, in the grand scheme of things; it's a large campus, with all the necessities of life available reasonably conveniently, and it's not as though they're familiar enough with the town to have a strong social attachment to it. Neither of them is fond enough of drinking for bars to appeal very much, and Edie finds movies as pointless as she does television.
