[quote=Anonymous]I went to college in the 80s, the olden days, I know.   My mom had met my Dad at college and made a point of telling me that my future husband was probably walking around on campus the day they moved me in.  He wasn't, and while I dated a lot of nice guys and still have amazing male friends from school, I would never have wanted to end up one of them.  Problem was, because of what my mom said, I spent most of my 20s thinking I had failed somehow by not meeting someone "nice" in college.  Only years later, as I spread my wings, followed my career around the country and met my future husband did I realize how limited my life would have been, with say, my long-term college boyfriend who moved back to his hometown after college and has never left it since.

I agree with other PPs.  Hopefully, you'll meet great and gain lifelong friends in college, but if you're choosing a university to land a spouse, you're hopelessly retro and perhaps more than a little deluded.  Pick up the Sunday NYT and read the weddings and engagements section....you'd be surprised how many accomplished graduates of top schools says they met their spouse through an online dating service like OKCupid.
