For me... for the last 5-6 years the majority of my time was spent in a college environment - I was around students 24/7, lived as an RA in the dorms... you meet who you're near.
Also... sometimes fellow students can be more forgiving of the demands on your social life that being a good college can require at times.
Currently.. I'm dating someone who has never attended a traditional 4 year college, and i thank the stars every day for it. His intelligence and knowledge is cultivated out of personal interest, not because someone forced to him to take a class or read a book.
