Is having a boyfriend/girlfriend very important when you study in a college (in Taiwan)?

I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time now. For me, it’s really not very important to have a boyfriend when I’m studying in a college especially in Taiwan. I’ve heard students in our college saying that they need a boyfriend so that their boyfriend can give them a ride whenever and wherever they want to go. In this case, the boyfriend is not really a boyfriend but a driver. When girls heard friends saying how they boyfriend treat them, they felt touched. For example, I’ve heard girls said they’re touched when they heard their friends’ boyfriend preparing fruits for them. After hearing these things, are there anything that girls should become touched so quickly? Then I should say girls are mad and crazy especially in Taiwan.
