The college experience: how romantic?

<p>I think yes, very romantic, in the classical sense. You’re in a small city made up almost entirely of young people. You have a furnished room, 3 meals a day, and more freedom than you’ve ever had in your life, or are likely to have again. You are studying something you chose, and your main responsibility is to be true to yourself and your own aspirations. You’re sitting in the library window studying and you see that intriguing young man/woman scuffing home across campus in the lamplight…etc. etc. etc. Of course there is disappointment and uncertainty and sometimes heartbreak. But you’re so young that there’s always another chance. That’s the very definition of romantic for me.</p>
