The use of "live" as a plural
Hi, I have a question regarding the use of "life" as a plural form in the below sentence.
"Most graduates talk fondly about their lives on campus."
Did I use this correctly? Similarly, can I use "life" as a singular form in the same sentence?
"Most graduates talk fondly about their life on campus."
Thank you for your help!
