I've had a similar disquieting occurance on that site.. my step-aunt from another state was suggested as a connection. I never talk with her online, only over land line telephone conversations. She even has a different last name.

As far as I can guess, they use publicly available information to make these suggestions, they might have been able to see that you went to the same college.
