In this new audio blog series, I interview fellow college students to learn how they stay safe dating and the biggest concerns they face. I hear honest insights into the challenges of dating in college and what they desire in a partner. They also offer practical advice and describe their dating lives in just three words. Together, their experiences and perspectives offer valuable insight, support and relatability for anyone dating in today’s world.
The first interview is with Ashley, a college freshman majoring in Health Science with a minor in Biology. Ashley is actively dating in college and is hoping to find her lifelong partner. In this recording, we’ll talk about her dating standards, beliefs, and goals. She will also share advice for others who might also be dating in college.
