I hear you, but college admissions should not be tailored to make dating easier. There’s arguably more important things at stake here.

If you value dating above all else, send your kids to a party college.

It's not a matter of valuing dating above all else. It's a matter of realizing that your students are going to live at your school for 4 years and have limited opportunities to socialize off campus, and that if campus can not provide a somewhat normal social life academic performance will suffer.

I don’t think I accept your premise that more balanced dating equals better academic performance. Seems unlikely.

Or students simply will choose to go to a different school, where dating prospects are better.
