[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love for my kids to meet their spouses in college. Partly because that’s where I met DH and it’s been fun to grow up together and have this shared history. Also because several of the best matched couples we know met in college as well (we’re in our 50s). Finally because assortive mating is a real thing and at my kids’ selective schools there are peers with similar levels of intelligence and common interests (simply by picking these colleges).[/quote]

What school? Does this line of thinking go out the window at state schools?[/quote]

Maybe. My kids are at NESCACS so perhaps more of a self-selecting group by vibe of school and a narrower range of admission metrics than a state school that has an honors college etc. There is also a lot of dating and coupling up happening at their schools for whatever reason, although who knows if these couples will last long term. Their friends at similar slacs are dating serious bfs/gfs  too, but I don’t know if it’s related to the small school thing or just the stage of life.[/quote]

how many kids at their schools? interesting - both mine wanted big rah rah but now I am second guessing[/quote]
