Hi all! I'm new to W101 and I'm looking to make some friends for questing/leveling. I'm usually available after work and on weekends. Not sure what type of wizard I should be.

Greetings Waffle1991, welcome to the Wizard101 forums!

Welcome to the forum and W101...you're going to LOVE this game!
Every account has the capacity for 6 free wizards (we'll soon be able to buy a 7th slot). This means you can try out the different schools if you want to and lots of players have several wizards of different schools. It can be hard to choose because they're all so much fun, but you don't have to worry too much since you're not limited to only one
You might like to check out some of the spells online to see which ones you really want to be able to cast. Each school has their own set of spells. I fell in love with Storm Owl when I saw him....and he is still my favourite spell animation.
If you like dealing damage and enjoy being the team mate who makes the kill then storm or fire would be great. If you're more into healing and support then life or balance might suit you. If you like to tank and be virtually impossible to defeat then ice could be for you. If you want the power to summon cool minions to help you in battle then myth is a lot of fun and they can summon up to 3 creatures at a time! Death is the last school and they have the slightly macabre trait of being able to steal the health of their enemies and use it themselves!
There really is no 'bad' school, they've all got useful spells with cool animations. Every school can solo or work well in a team. There is a great balance of them all being able to hold their own but also have their individuality too
If you've got any questions feel free to post them, we're happy to help! I hope you find some friends to quest with too, there might be someone here planning to start a new wizard who could join you right from the start
Welcome! Nice to see a new face. You definitely can make lots of friends who are on the same quests and perhaps higher lvl friends who happened to be in your team up session. I currently have 5 maxed wizards and a lvl 75 wizard and have met lots of friendly people. I hope you enjoy your time in the spiral and perhaps I can run into you on one of my wizards!
Similarly to you, was my first school too. I still have that wizard up to this date.
A few things to keep in mind being a Thaumaturge.
Professor Greyrose is quite a charming professor :DIce requires a lot of patience. It is not a school for the rash and the hasty.Ice has the highest defenses and health within the game.The school also for the lower levels, have the lowest damage within the game as well; it does improve though!Ice has a lot of shield and utility spells available to the school such as Tower Shieldand Legion ShieldThe school has average accuracy. It's not bad, but it's not the best either; hence, expect to fizzle a few times.The school is fun! Be sure to maximise your usage of it! Post if you have any more queries.
