In a post entitled From Classmates to Soulmates today, Facebook’s Data Science Team explains their methodology: They looked at schools that had at least 1,000 married alumni, and couples who attended the same school within four years of each other. Obviously, they only looked at subjects who reported marital status and graduation school—and their age limit was 25.
Their key findings? That you’re much more likely to meet your husband or wife in college—only 15 percent of couples met in high school, while 28 percent met during college. Geographically speaking, couples who met in high school are far more likely to hail from rural areas, which makes a good deal of sense: In cities, high schoolers are far more likely to know kids from other schools and social hubs.
