Columbia University was named the most sexually healthy campus this year by Trojan and Rock the Vote in the annual Trojan Sexual Health Report Card ranking, up from its fourth place position in 2009 when the University of South Carolina-Columbia took the top spot, according to a company press release. The ranking is based on the availability and cost of contraceptives, the existence of lecture and outreach programs and the accessibility and cost of HIV testing, among other criteria. Joining Columbia in the top 10 most sexually healthy campuses are Brown University and Princeton University, at No. 5 and 8, respectively. Princeton rose 53 spots from 61st place. Crucial to Columbia's top ranking was a new Internet resource called "Ask Alice" that allows students to submit anonymous sexual health questions, as opposed to going to the health center, the release said. Dartmouth placed 80th on the list.

College-educated young adults are more likely to be married than young adults who are less educated, reversing a long-standing trend that favored the less educated, a Pew Research Center analysis of census data recently found, according to the Associated Press. The study found that 62 percent of college-educated 30-year-olds are or have been married, compared to 60 percent of those lacking a college degree. In 2008, 75 percent of non-college-educated young adults were married by age 30, compared to 69 percent of college-educated young adults. The study also found that the median age at first marriage for those lacking degrees is the same as that for those with degrees, while in 1990, the gap was three years, with the college-educated being married later. "College used to delay marriage. Now, not completing college delays marriage," Richard Fry, a senior researcher at Pew who wrote the report, told the AP. The report also found that nine in 10 U.S. adults marry at some point in their lives, that adults with less education are more likely to divorce, and that married adults are better off economically.
