Between August 2006 and May 2007, Matthew and Victoria lived directly upstairs and downstairs from each other in Milbank Hall at Hamilton College. They didn't meet until 2015 on Coffee Meets Bagel. Both maintain that they had never seen each other on campus while undergrads and Victoria insists that Matthew could not have attended Hamilton without her noticing. Matthew is relieved that Victoria did not know him in college. Victoria knew Matthew was the one for her on their 5th date which she lovingly refers to as "The Disaster Date." This date ended with Matthew walking Victoria to Grand Central from the East Village. Matthew refuses to admit when he knew Victoria was the one.
