If they aren’t going to grad school, their post-college options for meeting people are naively work or online.

College is for education. I hope they don’t find a partner until they’ve finished education.

“Ring by spring” is a thing at few very conservative colleges. However, we just found out about one couple that is engaged. They are both seniors at a large flagship in the South.

It's not something I'm worried about, but interestingly, for both of my daughters that is part of their "plan."
They have a lot of single older cousins so maybe that has influenced them plus the general societal angst about how hard it is to find someone and how horrible dating is in this day and age.

If you are, is it worth making sure their school is the right fit for it and if not, transfer?
Currently have a HS senior interested in big rah rah and greek life...
Concerned that your 18 yr old finds a spouse in college?? Also, how does one even determine that a college is the right fit for dating?

Outdated in elite schools. Every one, male or female, is so career oriented. No one is investing in "finding spouse" seriously. Most break up at graduation due to jobs in different locations anyway.

Me again. My mother was worried about my dating life in high school (probably college, too, but at least she never brought it up) and I found it extremely annoying. So much so, that I refused to discuss it with her.

I don’t “hope” that she does, but yes I want her at a place where the person would be a good fit IF it happens. That’s why I don’t want her too far away. I don’t want her just settling down in Boston or Atlanta or wherever. I did meet DH in college.
