College Prowler Take
Fear not: you don’t have to look like a supermodel to find a mate at AU. The cosmopolitan and ambitious student body tends to place a greater emphasis on individuality, motivation, and intelligence than on appearance, but a fresh, clean-cut look doesn’t hurt either. Straight women at AU complain that satisfactory boyfriends are hard to find, as girls vastly outnumber the guys on campus. Plus, there is a notable gay population. Exploring the greater city may be a more efficient way to hook up. Don’t be afraid to go out and meet people at bars, clubs, city organizations, or just on the street. Students Speak Out

It really varies. I've met people from all over the world with very different backgrounds. However, most are the typical white, Michael Cera type that like to be sarcastic all the time. The guys are usually pretty skinning and quirky, and the girls are always dressed in artsy scarves. Everyone has an opinion on just about everything.

The student population is all over the place. There are extremes toward both poles. The foreign chicks know how to dress, and there are some hot guys. Overall, it's average.

There are a lot of women. For the most part, they are well-to-do preppy white girls, but there is some variety. I'd say they are pretty attractive for the most part, but I'm not into girls. The guys are the same. It's kind of hit-or-miss—some are drop-dead gorgeous, others are just not. On par, I would say they are above average. There are a lot of gay guys, too.

The women outnumber the men by a lot. The majority of the guys here are gay and from New Jersey. There are lots of "typical" girls around who like to get drunk and have terrible conversation in the process. There are always free condoms given away everywhere, so you can easily get laid, if quality isn't a factor.

The guys are pretty varied. You have your typical jocks and frat boys, but then you also have your nerdy political types and a disproportionate number of gays. The girls are varied, as well. There are the typical sorority girls, just like you'd find at any college. Then there are, just like with the guys, the political activists—both Democrat and Republican, although more of the former.

FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - Birth control is easily available on campus. Prescriptions for pills and other methods can be obtained from the Student Health Center with an appointment. Other contraceptives are provided across the campus during the year.
Social Scene
The social scene at AU is varied—there's something for everyone. However, AU has an overwhelming female population. Therefore, many of the more attractive young women on campus either lower their standards—looks-wise—or choose to head off-campus to find an equally attractive male counterpart. Ladies, do not fear, though—DC is full of eligible bachelors. Be sure to check out the frat and house parties, clubs, bars, and shows in the area.
Hookups or Relationships?
Both hookups and relationships exist commonly at AU, and both can be obtained if interested. Many of the busiest students opt for hookups though, so as not to interfere with their schoolwork or internships.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
Out in the city! Don't stick to AU.
Dress Code
Because AU is in the highly-professional capital city, the dress is more formal than most places. Students are often seen wearing suits coming and going from internships or jobs, while slacks and collared shirts are not unusual. Outside of the professional aspect of the fashion at AU, the students are indistinguishable from any other college students. Hoodies and flip-flops are everywhere!
