What does your love life have to do with a Columbia degree?
2 comments

The implication is that you meet the students grads and professors of the university and they are now part of your social circle and your dating pool.

A while back a friend in her thirties went to Columbia's teachers college and ended up marrying one of her professors so I guess it's more common than I realized.

What I was remarking on was that there was a certain subset of the 'back to school' cohort, in my day, who were basically reinventing their life, and often post-divorce.
