I did the first half of my undergrad time at Georgia Tech and then transferred to the Y. I really felt out of place until I got married and started grad school there. Once I got in with a group of other married grad students, it felt right. Before that, I felt like I was a hanger-on to Tim all the time. Being a convert from the South, I had precious little in common with most of the Y students. Plus, I quickly got tired of getting asked a million questions about my accent every time I opened my mouth.
But, the biggest thing for me was how shallow and boring so many of the conversations were before I was married. My sister and I both felt like people in our singles ward were constantly doing sexual compatibility arithmetic about each other when they were having any kind of conversation.
