I started dating my now husband when I just turned 20 and he had just turned 27. Six years later we are married and extremely happy. Do they seem to have a mature healthy relationship?

Maybe the mother thinks that 19 is not an age for a long-term relationship. If you have wild oats (though it's true that not everybody does), then 19 is a good age to sow them.

What do you base this on?

I met my husband when I was 19 and he was 25. Dated for 3. Married 20 years. We had a lot of common interests and goals. We fell in love very fast.
She is an adult and so is he. It might not work out but then again it just might.

A "social life" with feckless, drunken, horny college boys. Yay. Who wouldn't want that for their daughter?

In any event, she is an adult now, so you need to let go of the helicopter mom thoughts.
If you push too hard about it, she'll just move in with him.
Not sure where you got in my OP that I was 'pushing' at all, or being a helicopter. Because it's pretty much the opposite. I'm thinking if anything I'm too lax.

Costs a lot more money to live in the dorm.
Cheaper isn't always better.
So she should go into student loan debt in order to have more guys her age to sleep with? Yeah, not following your logic.

She's not having the normal college experience.
She has tons of guy friends her age and meets people in class, around campus, through other friends. What an odd statement.

I have to admit that I probably wouldn't be thrilled with one of my DDs dating a man six years older. However, I have two friends from high school who were in the exact scenario as your DD. They ended up marrying their boyfriends and are still together 25+ years on.
