A few years ago, The Atlantic Monthly wrote a good article about "The Organization Kid," which was a direct response to the famous William Whyte study "The Organization Man." Basically, kids in college 3-4 years ago (they used Princeton as an example) grew up so used to being overprogrammed that they rarely get into things about which they're passionate. There's not much experimentation or exploration of new interests...and to some extent, that's completely true.
One of the examples they used was the "joined-at-the-hip" relationship where there's not much or any love between the two participants. Where even our older siblings' college experiences were characterized by one or two serious relationships and a lot of dating around--we're more likely to have one serious relationship that begins in the first weeks or months of college and ends around graduation.
