Does dating life get better here than in high school

A friend of mine recently remarked to me on how common long-term relationships are here; people just don’t have time to deal with the drama of relationship problems, and somehow it just kind of keeps them at bay.

I’m less sure. I certainly had at least one year that would not have been out of place on a soap opera. And I knew and saw quite a few relationships that did not run long term. I think it is like anyplace else, there are people looking for different things in a relationship, and finding someone who wants what you wants is not appreciably different at MIT than at any other school. Certainly the fraternity/sorority party scene at MIT allows for some mixing.
