APDA Debate Teams (on the East Coast)

I was wondering if anyone knows the culture of the debate schools on the East Coast? I want a team that has support from the school and that operates like a family. They don’t have to be the top team, but I want people who support each other. Does anyone have a school to recommend? I applied to Brown, Tufts, William & Mary and Brandeis, so if you could address those specifically, that would be great. Thanks.
