[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah this is idiotic, OP. The most successful people I know largely met and married after college. And the trend towards marrying later means that our kids will be even less likely to meet their spouse in college.[/quote] +1. I wonder if OP is a boomer or similar, and grew up during a time when more people thought this way about the point of college. Having my young daughter meet her spouse in college has not once crossed my mind. I'm in my 30s, met husband during my postdoc while he was in a medical fellowship (both of us were at different Ivies during that time). Married in our 30s. Most of our well-educated friends I know are similar; very few met in college.[/quote] I believe OP meant to include couples like you in her assertion. Ivy (and ivy esque) alum networks shape dating circles well outside of the window of UG or Gradschool.[/quote]
