there many many professional and hobbyist clubs where you can meet like mind individuals that won't require you to spend the 10+ years in debt similarly there are many many social organizations you can meet young people to date, there are also establishments that sell food and beverages where young people tend to congregate 2-3 nights a week if all that fails, there are websites that let you contact people for both purposes (albeit the signal to noise for those might be poor) college is obviously convient for both purposes, but its a mistake, both on a societal level and a personal level, to give college monopoly pricing power if that's what you're in the market for

you know what, if you're going to downvote something (especially something on point), make a reply and state your point of contention that's how real discussions are supposed to happen

there many many professional and hobbyist clubs where you can meet like mind individuals that won't require you to spend the 10+ years in debt How many of them have entrance standards as stringent as the Ivy League? The hardest part isn't what you do while you're there, it's getting in. And how else are parents going to pay for their children to spend so much time around the best class of plausible mates they can find for their children?

  serious question - what is the value of stringent entrance requirements so far has it applies to your personal network? is it so that you don't have to spend resources maintaining a network with those that don't meet them? for what its worth, any professional and hobbyist club with close proximity to a prestigous school will probably put you in contact with a number of people in that school you don't have to go to Harvard, MIT, Stanford wherever, to meet/ socialize with students from that school you probably have to be doing something of interest, to make yourself an attractive socialization member from the other side of that equation, but that probably true (though obviously to a lesser extent) even if your a student of one of those schools
