> It is weird when people take a class specifically because of that reason though.

The ends seem to justify the means, sometimes. I know a married couple who met on a college campus. While students, the man (boy at the time, really) was a manager and chose his and her hours at the campus store so they would overlap. They tell this story proudly. The distinction between weird and romance seems to be whether it succeeds.

Richard Feynman choose to learn Portuguese instead of Spanish because there was a pretty girl in the Portuguese class line.

considering what we know about Richard Feynman's personal life, I'm not sure this is the great example you think it is.

Good point. Just saying that considering who you might get to be friends with as part of choosing a section, class, degree, or college isn't anything new.

Bingo. Also aware of at least a few married couples who met in class at my uni.
