I don’t think going to Seminary in Israel affects the number of shidduchim. There are girls who get married at 18 but a lot more, including those staying here, more likely will get married at 19 or later. I don’t think there is a need to do a study on this since our own anecdotal evidence based on people will know would reveal that outside of the chassidhe community, the number of girls who stay home instead of Israel for seminary who are getting engaged and/or married is relatively small. I for one think 18 is too young these days for anyone to marry.
