Who Says Penn Students Don't Like Dating?

College students are a notoriously jaded bunch, getting their kicks from depraved exploits like "hook-ups," "one night stands," and "freak dancing." But The New York Times reports that, thanks to the internet, everything is different now! Apparently Skype, iPhones, sexting, and texting have revolutionized the way high-school sweethearts stay in touch between campuses across the country.

Don't believe them? Ask junior Jake Blum, whose relationship with Connecticut College freshman Alia Roth was cited in the piece. In contrast to the rest of the students interviewed, Blum and Roth are traditionalists, preferring handwritten, kiss-sealed letters to texts or emails. How adorable (or embarrassing, depending on how you choose to view the serious listserv attention the article's been getting).

See? Penn kids do like to date - just with distance/the internet as a comfortable buffer.
