Huh. Here I'd been thinking my classmates were there for the same reasons I was: The high-caliber education, top-tier faculty, abundant connections to other local schools (Boston area), and not just toleration of but encouragement toward my own spiritual and religious explorations at that stage in my life.
A handful of my best friends even became Catholic priests, so I guess if their parents sent them there to marry, it didn't work out very well.

Assuming the parents are authentic Catholics, they would send them there to find their vocation, whether that is marriage or holy orders. Seen through that lens, it worked out very well indeed.

- bregma 6y agoWell, they ended up married to Jesus.
- smeej 6y agoMarried to the Church, in Catholic theology, but yes ;)
