[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t go to private school but all of my friends from college did (or boarding school). In my limited experience, private school kids married younger. They had the financial resources to do so but they also had the advantage of meeting potential spouses at a younger age. I went to an Ivy and I have several close friends who met each other there on day 1 (they met through mutual friends while us public school kids were still figuring out people’s names) or they met each other’s college friends during undergrad at house parties and weekends away. I was just outside their larger social circle and was always invited to girls’ weekends at parents’ houses but never the co-ed events or things where everyone’s parents would be socializing, too. I pulled away from those friends in my mid-20s because that hurt.

At my DD’s private school, the youngest parents are alumni of the school. They are also the ones who have grandparents paying tuition and have moved into their parents’ houses when the parents moved into their weekend or summer places after retirement.[/quote]
