I'm kind of shocked at all these rich people who went or sent their kids to private colleges. NY had 64 SUNY schools when my brother and I were coming up - we thought it was totally reasonable that our parents said out of 64 surely we could find one that was right for us.

DH and I met in college, and I can think of five other couples off the top of my head who met at our school who are still together, three of whom who met on our floor as freshmen.

We didn't meet until we were in our mid-20s at work.


I’ll take that bet on Drury. It’s in Springfield, MO. I grew up in KCMO, so it wasn’t unheard of for someone to go there. I knew a girl a year older than I was and who went to a different high school who went there in the late 80s.
