Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For the most part, the College of Charleston campus is an attractive one, and with the nearly-constant warm weather, students aren’t afraid to display what they have to offer to the opposite sex. Usually what you‘ll find is that girls are sweet and conservative during the day and provocative at night, while guys will most likely roll out of bed after an afternoon nap and wear the same thing to a party that they’ve been wearing all day. There seems to be an abundance of preppy girls, and preppy guys who have gotten a little bit lazy, but no student ever complains about a dearth of attractive people. They’re everywhere.

Naturally, the caliber of the student body shouldn’t be the motivating factor in choosing a college, but if it’s at the very bottom of your list, they’ve got you covered at CofC. With students from all over the country and the world, you’re sure to find your type somewhere, depending on the scene. The only complaint that students at the College have is the uniformity of guys and girls. This complaint comes from both ends of the gender pool. The same or different, students here are generally attractive. Even going to class can be a festival for the eyes. Walking down the street in Charleston is like window-shopping or observing fine art. Though, after a while, the paintings start to look the same.

There are many more girls than boys at my school. A lot of the girls are from the south, blonde, tall, etc... but there are many other girls from all other states too.

So the girls are sluts and the guys are too. Which works great for both sexes. Girls are like guys in a way that they go out looking for a guy to bring home. The guys are not looking for a relationship, just a regular booty call. There are always the exceptions though. The school is 70% girl 30% guys and half the men are gay. Like most colleges freshman and sophomores are not looking to settle down and are crazy. But the older the students get the more of them that start settling down.

Everyones Attractive Pretty Much...

The only thing is the girl to guy ratio here is insane. Girls outnumber the guys something like 10 or 15 to 1 I think....guys here are kind of iffy. It seems like they're either gay, frat daddy ass****s, or they could potentially be gay and you're not really sure...there are a lot of pretty girls here, a lot of them dress up really nice, some are hipsters, some just dress normal. It seems like a pretty big amount of people here are either into the soriety/frat scene, or they're more artsy/hipster. There are a lot of guys who skateboard, if you're into that sort of thing

Facts

Social Scene

Meeting people can be tough, and many freshmen have claimed that they run into a lot of snobby girls and guys or have roommates that go home every weekend. But as at any college, finding your niche in the first couple of months is hard. Joining a sorority or fraternity is not the only way to meet people. Academic clubs, intramural and club sports, class, or work are also good places to meet people, as well. The key to forming friendships is universal: bite the bullet and be friendly. Everyone else wants to meet people just as badly as you do, so don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.

You can meet just about anyone at a party or at a bar, but meeting and forming relationships with people can be easily accomplished through academic means. Study groups, extracurricular activities, and late nights at the library give way to more than ample opportunity for a casual hookup, a torrid affair, or something long-term. If you're in the market, hotties can be found pretty much year round with the exception of two or three brief months in the winter. Warm weather seems to be code for "wear as little clothing as possible," and all the guys have to do is sit back and watch the fake tans stroll by in their tiny ruffled skirts. Meanwhile, the girls long for a Charleston boy who will shower and cut his hair.

Hookups or Relationships?

Personalities vary from person to person, as do their methods of approaching members of the opposite sex. Some girls at the College of Charleston stay with cadets from the Citadel, who are in desperate need of some female attention. Many girls feel as if there are no guys at the College and search for guys who don’t go to CofC but live in Charleston. Due to the 2-to-1 female-to-male ratio at CofC, many guys are aware of the abundance of women and are simply looking for a hookup, but this cuts both ways. Some Charleston guys are boyfriend material, but they are hard to find. Commitment-free hookups are as common here as the typical keg party, but finding someone to date is attainable—you’ll just have to work hard for it.

Dress Code

The College of Charleston has two distinct styles: trendy/bohemian and preppy. The trendy/bohemian types can be seen wearing colorful prints, skinny jeans, funky sweaters, boots, loud jewelry, and outrageous sunglasses, while the preppy types often sport cardigans, polos, Seven jeans, boat shoes, pearls, and Croakies. The typical Southern boy outfit is a Guy Harvey T-shirt, short khaki shorts, and New Balance sneakers, while the typical bohemian boy might wear a graphic T-shirt, corduroys, and Chacos.
When it comes to nightlife, expect to see a lot of girls (likely freshmen) overdressing in stilettos and extremely short dresses, while the guys seem to make absolutely no effort whatsoever. If you see a guy dressing to impress, he is most likely gay or going to some formal fraternity function.
