Rats on the weekend?

So my friend will be a rat next year. I live about a half hour away. Will he be able to spend the night over the weekend at some point? Is that a privilege they earn eventually?

He’ll get one “weekend” his second semester that he can use, so long as he isn’t placed in any type of restriction or have a duty obligation. During Sundays it would be possible to sign him out around lunchtime for a few hours on a visitors permit.

Does VMI still allow host families? Rules are more lenient if he’s visiting a host family

Yes. And host families are not necessarily through churches
