It depended on what stage you were at in the school. The first visit was in challenge, and it was only four days. I believe you had to maintain all agreements, and couldn't see any of your old friends. Also on the first home visit, you had to do kind of a "make amends" thing, I think. I remember I had to go through all of the shit I still had that I had stolen from people, or borrowed and never got around to returning, and send them back. all of this was done through correspondence.
By the time you got into upper school, you had to make your own agreements. If you wanted special permission for something, you had to get it approved through staff. In addition, on your last home visit, you were required to do one social outing where there were a lot of people present, and you didn't know any of them... or something like that.
I was able to see extended family however, as early as quest. But that was always for an off campus visit, as opposed to a home visit. Im sure I was allowed to see them on home visits, but due to the fact that those were never too long, I dont remember if I saw anyone.
