In this day and age, men and women generally don’t attend college to find their one special person. It’s usually about getting those degrees so that they can gain successful careers after graduation before even considering marriage.

However, that doesn’t mean that students should not think too much their dating lives because of the busyness that comes with school. Also, dating shouldn’t be belittled because of the notion that there isn’t a possibility of finding a soulmate. There is still hope in finding that special person in college. It may take a couple of people before finally meeting that one person. But it can still happen.

A Facebook Data Sciences study found that roughly 28 percent of married graduates attended the same college as their spouse. About 15 percent of individuals on Facebook attended the same high school as their spouse, according to USA Today.

So keep on dating while in college because there is a chance that soul mate will come along.
