STUDENTS are (accustomed) to seeing all sorts of promotions on campus.

But last week, at Shenzhen University, grads encountered a new one.

A local matchmaking service promoted (marriage) as "the best way to start a career".

In fact, on many campuses, marriage is (increasingly) seen as providing a way for young people to escape the pressures of job-hunting and career.

According to a China Youth Daily online poll, more than 25 percent of students are considering getting married (right) after graduation.

Take, for example, An Yujie, a Communication University of China art major.

The 23-year-old An graduated a year ago and has been (unemployed) ever since.

Now, she finds herself (anxious) about the future. Marriage would provide a solution.

She has begun pushing her boyfriend to make a (commitment) for the future.

She even (convinced) him recently to visit her home and family in Sichuan.

"Now, no one talks about my still-no-job thing," says An. "I find myself (secure) with a local Beijinger who has a stable income."

An is not the only one looking to marriage for security. So are many students' (parents).

For the really protective moms and dads, a (daughter) graduating without even a boyfriend spells failure.

Cheng Yunyun, a 24-year-old (information) major at Shanghai University, always thought that marriage was something in the distant future.

But now, at her parents' urging, she has found (herself) going to matching-making parties to meet guys.

She sometimes gets "forced" to take phone calls from "candidates" arranged by her mom.

According to Shen Zheng, a Peking University (psychology) professor, looking to marriage to provide (security) is very dangerous.

Shen says recent grads should learn how to solve problems through (compromise) before considering marriage.

That's because it involves so much (triviality) and (responsibility), even troubles.

Also, Shen says young people should be prepared to be (independent) in marriage -- both emotionally and (financially).

"If you can't (keep up) with the other person's mind or social experience, it will be hard to sustain."

Cheng Yunyun, (meanwhile), is still going to those match-making parties because she thinks they're an effective way to meet many people in a short time.

But she says she doesn't always give (out) her phone number like she used to.

"I'm waiting to give my number out to the one who gives me a (special) look in my eye."
