Campus Love....

Just read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal (not the NYTimes for a change) that talked about students eschewing (love that word) campus romance.  The reason was largely attributed to the competitive nature of college campuses and focus on careers.

They threw in some statistics on this: "Only 14% of people who are married or in a relationship say they met their partner in school or college, says a 2006 Harris International study of 2,985 adults; 18% met at work.  That's a reversal from 15 years ago, when 23% of married couples reported meeting in school or college and only 15% cited work, according to a 1992 study of 3,432 adults by the University of Chicago." 

This couldn't be more from the truth when it comes to my college friends - it sure seems like most of us found a fellow student to end up marrying.
