<p>I’ve heard statistics that well over half of students come to Harvard as virgins.</p>
<p>This was semi-confirmed by a (very unscientific) poll of 100 prefrosh in the class of 2009, where only 26% said they had had intercourse.</p>
<p>In addition to what white_rabbit said (“People are too busy to date”), there may also be a perception of entitlement among Harvard students (both male + female), that because they’re so desirable, people should be coming to them, rather than the other way around.</p>
<p>In any case, I strongly believe that if you are willing to put time + effort into relationships, Harvard can be a great place to date. After all, it is the “World’s Most Elite Dating Agency” ([Greg</a> Mankiw’s Blog: Assortative Mating](<a href=“http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2006/11/assortative-mating.html]Greg”>Greg Mankiw's Blog: Assortative Mating)).</p>
