College Prowler Take
Bard has an eclectic student body. While a lot of students take pride in dressing well and taking care of themselves physically, there’s an equal number who throw personal hygiene to the breeze. (If at any moment you happen to be sitting downwind of these people, you’ll get a personal whiff of what I’m talking about). Dirty, grungy clothes, and unkempt hair do little to increase the sexual appeal of anybody. Unshorn armpits, a natural avoidance of warm water and soap, and a particular proclivity for wearing the same underwear a week straight only add to the problem. Plus, a sizable percentage of Bardians are somewhat awkward and androgynous people who are uncomfortable when it comes to social (let alone sexual) interaction—approach them with caution. On the other hand, a good portion of students here are reasonably attractive, well put together, and friendly. It’s not uncommon that, come spring, heads begin to turn when girls in sundresses and guys in cut-off shorts start strutting their stuff across campus. Most will admit that there are only a handful of extremely attractive guys and girls hidden around Bard, and not surprisingly, this select few are well sought after. Your classic frat boy and cheerleader pair would not get a second look at Bard. In their place is a grungy, American Apparel kind of sexy—the product of more careful planning than the off-the shoulder, tussled hair look might suggest. For some, the perfect catch entails little more than good hygiene, good conversation, and a V-neck T-shirt. Besides, what many Bardians may lack in overall looks, most make up for with an intriguing and unique personality. Students Speak Out

There has been a steady increase in hot girls since I arrived at Bard four years ago. I don’t know if I have admissions to thank for it, but somebody has been recruiting attractive girls, and they’re doing a damn good job at it. If there were more attractive ladies at this college, then it wouldn’t be a bad place to go. |

One word: Hipsters. I have already...
One word: Hipsters. I have already grown to grow with them so soon, to love them, to laugh at them and with them, to stare in awe and yet in amusement all the same, to accept and defy them simulatenously. In a short period of time at Bard, you come to realize: you begin seeing beauty in very different places than you did before you were a Bardian.

A-
Ladies (and gay men) put on your high-heeled shoes, cause there are some sexy mancakes at Bard. True, the pickings for the ladies can at times be a bit slim (be sure to check out the rugby or lacross practices) but for the gays, it's an all you can eat buffet. The gay crowd tends to be a bit queeny, but there are some good, level-headed ones in the mix as well. Lots of hippers, so if that's your thing, go for it. Also, lots of foreigners withs sexy accents.

Girls and Boys
D-
All the boys are either gay or look like they are gay (very effeminate and conscious of appearance- they wear tighter pants than the girls do). Most people look dirty/and or tired and love to talk about how they are "broke" while wearing $200+ pairs of pre-faded acid wash jeans. Much of the student body is socially awkward and/or rude which makes for a very lonely social experience.

Social Scene
Social interaction at Bard can be adolescently awkward, sort of like showing up to your first eighth-grade dance with a raging sinus infection. Just like in middle school, Bard's social scene is cliquey and exclusive; most kids would rather chew off their own foot than intermingle with people they don't know. Accordingly, cliques at Bard are tough to crack. Not only does each group have its own idea of what's cool, but they're also viciously uninterested in what's not cool. This, of course, makes the social scene at Bard pretty segregated. There's the too-hip-to-trip Mod Squad, the sepulchral and sometimes-creepy Fantasy Action Crew, the iconoclastic studio artists, and everyone stereotypically in between. Most Bardians slip out of their shells and into something more approachable once they've had a few cocktails at one of the local bars, though.
Hookups or Relationships?
Because Bard is such a small and tightly-knit institution, romantic relationships can sometimes seem a bit incestuous. This means it's not unusual to find out that a friend or acquaintance is not-so-surreptitiously hooking up with your ex. But the school breeds one-night hookups, as well as full-time relationships. During some of the more raucous events, it's not uncommon to see a decent (or indecent) mix of making-out, sloppily executed booty-grabs, and poorly planned pick-up lines. Count on a modest amount of nudity, too.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
A lot of students find true love (or at least a convenient hookup partner) living right down the hall. Intra-dorm relations usually come full bloom freshman year, especially during L & T, when freshmen begin to explore the benefits of unsupervised, coed college life. Once classes start, students new to Bard can meet classmates outside of the dorm room setting, and so might find their romances fueled by a slightly more intellectual chemistry. Study sessions can quickly lead to makeout sessions, especially on the library's notorious fourth floor. Of course, the party scene is the quintessential setting for meeting guys and girls. Dance parties are well attended by campus-dwellers and known to get people moving. Fiestas can get intimate when the music’s bumping and the kegs are full. Local bars can also breed romance, as guys and girls share drinks in an oftentimes crowded and poorly-lit cantina. (Tip: Keep an eye on your designated driver to make sure they don’t slip off with a partner for some late-night nooky, leaving you rideless come closing time.)
Dress Code
Your style of dress is pretty much dictated by the crowd you hang with. This leads to a pretty diverse, if not eclectic, dress code at Bard. The Hipster crew sports tight "skinny" jeans and obscure thrift store T-shirts; the Hippie-art crowd often roams around shoeless, rocking paint-covered corduroys and flowing skirts; the Rugby squad likes to stick with the Abercrombie and Fitch look; while the more preppy kids usually depend on Polos and Diesel jeans to get them through the day. Of course, a lot of Bard students escape classification and simply indulge their own sense of style, maintaining a variation in Bardian fashion.
