[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking at my friends and family, it's only a small percentage whose closest friends were made during college.  That surprised me, as one pitch my DS has heard throughout the app process is that finding the right fit college is also about finding your future friends for life.  What's been your experience?[/quote]

no…wow, no.  I did meet my DH in law school, so he has two good friends from there, and 15 years out still keeps in touch with a group of them but just periodic email only.  He has two friends from childhood that he thinks are close but my impression is it's one-way.  All these people, btw, are not in town.  So the guys he hangs out with in town are some dads from our kids' school.

I have zero friends kept from college.  I have one from high school, and one from law school and the "fit" is imperfect so I wouldn't call them my closest friends.  It's more because of geographic and relationship history that we are in touch.  My three closest friends are moms I met over the years, and I think they are lifers.[/quote]
