Whether you can find a spouse in college depends a lot on where you're at. In our engineering class we had about a 60:1 male to female ratio. But, besides that I do agree that school in general is the best place. Certainly in high school we had pretty close to a 50:50 ratio , then later after I graduated I had exactly the experience Malcolm talks about - everybody disappeared into society at large and it was really hard to find single people in their 20's. So yea actually even 20 years ago the makings of the "birth gap" were evident because there just weren't that many young people, and of the young people I knew the majority weren't even interested in getting married or having a family.
