I met my DH at college as did a number of my college friends. And even those who didn't marry someone they met at college tended to marry men who are graduates of similarly selective colleges (e.g. my Stanford sorority sister who married a Penn alumnus she met at their law firm).<br /><br />I have a couple of friends who got accepted to selective colleges but for financial reasons decided to commute to the local branch of UMass. One married a fellow UMass classmate and the other is still single in her mid-thirties. <br /><br />I didn't go to college actively seeking my "MRS. degree" but that was the net result just as it was for my mom & my maternal grandma.Crimson Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254830856234479999noreply@blogger.com
