Think about it...most people who go to community college are older students...most are people who have a spouse or kids (or are a single parent). Certainly not all comm. college students fall into this category (a surprising number of them are high school students), but I think it is enough to skew the "results".
A community college isn't a representative example of traditional college age students.
And OF COURSE 20 year old females are thinking about marriage...they are figuring out what rings they like, dresses they want, etc. etc.

wow, you were totally reading my mind! many students at my campus get engaged their senior year of college and usually get married after graduation, a few before. i started dating my now husband freshman year in college and just got married this spring....it was 10 years between the two and we waited for various reasons. good thing too....i don't think we would have survived if we had married earlier, but that story is way too long and personal to share here.
anyways....student composition are completely different at a community college and four-year, as pych-tau mentioned. it is really hard to compare the "typical" student there and at a 4-year.
to the OP, i think you will find it a very different culture when you transfer! not good or bad, just different, and i hope you can appreciate the differences.
