i doubt Blair is going to college (a huge investment no matter how much money you have) to purely husband hunt. Seeing as shes older, and barely finished high school or whatever, Belmont U was probably an option as it hsa an 80% acceptance rate. Obviously shes not aiming high in the ivys, considering she doesn't have much to put in a college application (not including her literal youtube career)
Exactly, and it's going to be next to impossible to husband hunt since she is an undergrad and will be surrounded by 18-22 year old college kids. Unless she is suddenly into younger men (which I doubt since she's lived like a 40 year old since she was 17, and favors slightly older men) or tries to get with a prof there, husband hunting would be a useless effort. I actually thought she sounded serious about going to study and actually make a new career path and passion in life. Hopefully she finishes and finds a new life she is excited for.
There are graduate programs at Belmont, including a law school and an MBA program, so there will be guys around her age on campus. But yeah, she will be definitely mostly be around very young people. I imagine she'll be required to take some kind of first year writing class* and a selection gen ed stuff, which would be almost entirely 18-20 year olds, with a few nontraditional students like her in the mix. If she's trying to find a dude, she'll have to look beyond her classmates. (Now I'm imagining Blair prowling law school mixers—I sure hope that's not her plan.)
*As an aside, I taught freshman writing while I was in grad school. I know those classes don't have the best reputation (they can be boring af, for both teacher and students), but they do teach essential skills for college and professional life—research, composition, structure, rhetoric, etc.—assuming the curriculum is solid. Blair is decent at laying out her thoughts in a cohesive way (even if she isn't always eloquent), and she has developed a good sense of narrative from making vlogs and telling stories on camera. I think there's a decent chance she'll do well in college if she can hone those skills and learn to apply them to coursework.
Tis true, but it would still be next to impossible to hunt them out, unless she's going to bluntly go up to what she assumes is a grad or law student and talks to them out of the blue. I know every college is different, but at my uni grad students were rarely seen during the school day. Usually you could only find them at study rooms at night, but even then it was scarce. Again, every school is different, but they were very much separated. Maybe Belmont will be different, or she'll be in that adult program.
I really wonder what this will do to Blair socially, though. She's not from Nashville and she won't know anyone inthe area besides Elle's family, and it will be very difficult to make friends when she isn't working. Of course she could befriend the college kids, but I imagine it would be weird for both parties. She seemed a bit depressed when she admitted about having a hard time finding a friend group in LA. I really wonder what her social plan is.
