Have you noticed that a lot of med students date/ marry other med students?

Or is that only the case at where I go to school?

I would say that more than half of my class is dating/married to another med student/ resident. Why is that the case? Why would u want to be with another busy person?

Environment and social / study  network during medical school

I think it is because they are around eachother a lot.. but also because they happen to understand what the other person is going through a lot too. In terms of while in school can study together or relate to what is needed 

Also personalities are more similar. med students/residents tend to have a certain personality haha.. it seems to be more in medical students, then less in residents. then i find attendings seem to have more variety in their personalities. i guess we are all just really stressed with figuring oh what to do and gunning to get into med.

Many things

 

-around each other a lot 

-similar backgrounds and personalities 

-wanting to marry similar status or wealth (very important for Asian parents sadly)

Conversely, you could look at it as having a bit more reassurance that your partner isn't primarily interested in your perceived status or earning potential (if you didn't meet prior to medical school).
