dents there are too driven by work and career. Their lives are out of balance. Relationships are not a top priority. Students there are more in love with achievement than with people.

The best dating cultures where possible commitments might develop are at the public Ivies and selective top 100 private universities below the top 20 or 30. And also at the selective top 100 LACs below the top 15.



Well, at my top 15 LAC there is plenty of “dating” (ie. people in realtionships, though maybe not so much with actual dates)…people aren’t like what you described at all (even the ones not looking for a realtionship aren’t that way because they are “more in love with achievement than with people”).

There is a big hookup culture, but also a lot of people who want realtionships instead. I’ve also found that many people who participate in the hookup culture here also want or would be open to a realtionship. I feel like this is true at a lot of places, or at least lot more than people think.

Some schools brag about the higher number of alumns who marry other alumns…those schools probably having something of a dating scene :D
