I think the schools with a religious affiliation are more inclined to have the kind of dating culture to which you refer. Aside from those schools, my theory is that the best dating cultures where you are considering the possibilities of long term commitments are NOT found at the elite private universities. Students 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.

What you are looking for is an intelligent student body but with students whose top priority is still human relationships, not money, success, or esteem.



What an outrageous caricature. For starters, you presume that your value of relationships having priority over career and success is superior. That is just your opinion.

Secondly, there’s simply no truth whatsoever to this caricature of students at top schools.
