Marraige vs. Education at BYU

This is my very first year at college. Yes, i am unfortunately, like most of you, a freashman. When I was first telling everyone in my acquaintance that i would be attending BYU almost right after i graduated high school everyone had the same thing. "Congratulations Adrienne, you are going to be engaged in 6 months!" I found this a VERY disturbing thought. Yes, i have heard the stories of the people who go to BYU just to find the one Mormon boy that they have been looking for all their short little lives, but really now. I've been out of high school for three weeks and people are already taking bets on how long its going to take me to get married? I think BYU should try to eliminate this image. This is a top rate institution, not just a place to meet some man/woman so you can get married.
I know that what they say has some validity. BYU is where half of the adult LDS population met and dated. What i wasn't prepaired for, however, was how much the institution pushes the students to meet others of the opposite gender, to date, and even marriage. For example, most of you probably attended New Student Orientation. The dating game, the two dances, and they even forced you to introduce yourself to at least 15 other people of the opposite gender, need i say more? The first couple of days here at BYU felt more like going back to EFY then it did a college setting.
