USA TODAY - May 7 - Co-founder of DateMySchool.com, Alexa built the dating website in 2010 with Jean Meyer for peers at Columbia University where they attended business school. Since then, the college- and alum-exclusive service has expanded to ~ 230K students in 2,800 colleges. The duo launched iPhone, iPad and Android applications last month.
"Once they've seen these people are just college kids they're much more open and receptive," Gobiel said. "You then know there won't be these creepy people you might find on other websites."
When Facebook stepped away from just focusing on colleges, this dating site idea became a slamdunk.

Not a bad idea, but there are other college-only dating sites in the past that haven't done much. It just seems to be too small of a customer base to turn a profit. There are a lot non-single college students that will use facebook.
