<p>My friend and I were joking today how we each might find a husband/wife in college in the next 4 years. Were both gonna go to grad school but i was just wondering how often/who on CC found their spouse in their college?</p>
<p>Ugh I don’t even want to know. I’ll get depressed lol. I definitely won’t find someone here. My next destination will probably have to be a city :p.</p>
<p>Well, I have two more years here to find any potential candidates to make my husband. If not, I have graduate school or maybe some friend will be willing to pair me up with some guy. There’s always online dating when desperation sets in (yikes!) =]</p>
<p>Well I cannot speak yet for my own experience (still 2 years to go) but at my school it’s FREAKISHLY common for alums to get hitched together. These of course are rough stats, but I heard 80% of people who stay for 4 years (which is about 1/2 the people who come in) get married to another alum. A couple days ago, I ran into 2 alum planning their wedding. They’ll be married in June at the church building our school uses as a music hall.</p>
<p>I might be transferring (like a vast number of my classmates) so this might not apply to me, but it is something I think about when I consider staying</p>
<p>The other day in French class, our teacher was asking us random questions as a game. One was if anyone of us were engaged. Apparently, there are 3 kids in her other sections for french who are engaged. Last year in my women studies course, there were 2 senior girls who were engaged.</p>
<p>I don’t know how I’d feel about finding my husband in college though. I don’t want to get married until I reach 27 =</p>
<p>College of William and Mary… Like 60% of the school marries someone from the school. No Joke.</p>
<p>My parents met in middle school, went to college together, and got married
:\ now THATS scary</p>
<p>I’m getting married in 2012 to someone I met my freshman year.</p>
<p>um i DO NOT want to get married b4 the age of 25.</p>
<p>I was in middle school when my husband was in college. We did not date until later.</p>
<p>i am not even thinking about marriage until maybe late 20’s like 27,28, or older. I know friends from high school who are now married and with children. i just don’t want to go down my parents route and marry right out of college only soon regret it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Your parents regret having you? Ouch.</p>
<p>well not me lol but getting married to early and not planing ahead for raising children and being financially secure</p>
<p>Wow…I want to be married by 27 at the latest so I can have my first baby by 30 at the latest!</p>
<p>^^ LOL I think 27 is the golden age, that would be ideal for me.</p>
<p>I’ve got grad school and possibly law school to think of. And I’d like to be somewhat secure in a career before having children. But as for finding a mate in college – I just don’t see that happening right now. Of course its when you least expect it that it happens…</p>
<p>I want to be DONE having children by the time I am 30, which is part of the reason we are not in the 25+ camp. We want to have a year or two of marriage to ourselves, we want at least two or three kids, and I do not want to still be having them in my 30’s. That’d be QUITE the squeeze if we waited until we were 25 to get married. So instead it’ll be 23.</p>
<p>Granted, were I not in a position to marry until 25+ I wouldn’t have been complaining, whenever it happens is when it happens, but it just so happens to have happened before then. :P</p>
<p>Emaheevul07, you sound a lot like my daughter! She wants to marry right out of college, have her children soon after and enter the work force when her youngest is in high school. She is 17, so most of this is left up to chance, but that is her plan. She was discussing her plan at school the other day and a teacher told her that it was ridiculous for her to go to a top-20 school if that was her plan, she should just go to the local community college/state college. I couldn’t believe it when she told me that! She is in the top 10 of nearly 500 in her graduating class, but because she wants to marry young, she is not “worthy” of the quality education she has earned.</p>
<p>A family in our town has three girls. The dad has always said that his girls will all go to our state’s schools “because they will just get married any way.” His twins, who are seniors, each applied to one state school and that is where each of them will go. Dinosaurs live.</p>
<p>Many students go to school to major is MR. / MRS. programs.
It is a great opportunity to meet someone that has similar interest , beliefs and lifestyle , etc.</p>
<p>And for those that want to get married at a later stage in life , you could meet your future spouse in college and marry them later!!</p>
<p>I’d rather not get married till I’m like 30. That doesn’t mean I won’t be engaged or actively seeing someone for some time before that, but truth be told life is still rapidly changing in your late 20s and that just puts more stress on a marriage than necessary.</p>
