No doubt there are fewer people in your community and thus fewer opportunities for you to meet "the one". (unless your one is some uber geeky mit or harvard socially awkward genius, then i think you're set). reply to danib62 –

You know what the best choice is for a "modern orthodox single Jew upon graduation from college"? Not living in either the heights of the upper west side. When I graduated from Brandeis me and my modern orthodox friends had to decide between Brookline and Cambridge, MA. I guess since it's not the Heights or the UWS I'm in some sort of gallus. According to one recent mass email circling around Cambridge "serious Minyan goers - decided to leave Cambridge for Brookline" I guess since I live in Cambridge I'm in triple Gallus! ““The Heights or the Upper West Side?” This is the question facing every modern orthodox single Jew upon graduation from college.”
