"With Valentine's Day on the horizon, Kirsty Blake Knox speaks to couples who found romance after meeting in university and finds out why that formed a solid foundation for a long relationship"
"Collegiate settings have often been the backdrop for romance in films, TV and books - be it Normal People, One Day or Legally Blonde."
"To begin with, you are suddenly exposed to a whole new social circle and are spending hours with classmates studying or, in some cases, avoiding study."
Collegiate settings frequently act as fertile ground for romantic relationships because they place people in new social circles and create repeated opportunities for interaction. Students spend extended time together in classes, study sessions and social events, leading to familiarity and bonding. Shared experiences during formative years, common interests and schedules, and participation in mixers and group activities encourage connection. Popular culture often reflects this pattern by portraying campus romance in films and books. These factors combine to produce strong foundations that can support long-term relationships formed during university.
