College Prowler Take
Although most students believe that Columbia is not the place to find lots of hotties, they seem to agree that both the men and women who attend are rather attractive. The place on campus to spot the certifiable hotties is the gym, but people also seem to find visual fulfillment at the local bars around campus or down in Soho. It is not unheard of to have some lookers in class, too. There is, of course, all of New York City to ogle. Many students say that they came to Columbia to study, not to focus on romance, and they are unfazed by the school’s reputed lack of eye candy. That said, the students are usually ambitious and interesting, so sometimes mental attraction is more possible, and even sought after. Likewise, there’s plenty of hooking up going on at Columbia and serious relationships, as well. If you seek it, you can probably find it. There are all types here, from the high-maintenance princesses, to the shower-and-wear-jeans crowd. There are always some great-looking people around campus. You just have to keep your eyes open for whoever melts your butter.

Both the men and women of Columbia...
Both the men and women of Columbia tend to fall into one of two categories regarding personal style: fashionistas or it-looks/smells-ok-so-I’ll-just-wear-my-jeans mode. Each type is easy to spot. Men tend to wear more hair products than the women do, and it is rare to find girls who wear a lot of makeup. Low maintenance appearance seems to rule the day. |

The guys are bookish, for the most part, and the girls are conservative and very buttoned-up. I often have a hard time understanding what some of them are doing in a raging city like New York, but I guess that’s just one more aspect of the city’s diversity. If you’re looking for hotties, you’ve got to go and hang out down in Soho. |

The student body leaves something...
The student body leaves something to be desired. The average Columbia kid is a wealthy, self-important, bright person. The guys are generally bad at hitting on girls. The girls usually are immature and näive. It’s a very liberal campus, and a lot of the students take stands and stage minor protests about ridiculous causes. Sometimes, it’s amusing. |

There are some decent guys, but there isn’t an abundance of hotties at all. In general, you can find some good people at Columbia; it’s just a matter of luck and patience. |

Socially, you get people who think they’re the ultimate mix of being smart and cool. They leave a lot to be desired in both cases. The incoming classes seem to be getting better and better looking. My class was pretty, but the recent incoming freshmen were really good looking. |
FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - It's at the health services office.
Social Scene
Drinking is what people do at Columbia, if they have any social life at all. Most bars in the area draw a specific crowd, so you have a pretty good idea of who you'll see based on where you go. But the bonus about going to school in New York is when you tire of area bars (or if you never wanted to drink in the first place), there's a whole city out there to explore and entertain yourself with.
Hookups or Relationships?
Like most colleges these days, Columbia isn't a place where people date. Serious relationships are not an anomaly, but few claim to have met the love of their life at CU. Hookups happen, although some might claim that some of the nerdier students are too gunshy to be as free-lovin' as kids at other schools.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
Your friends and lovers will come mostly from your participation in extracurricular activities, whether it's debate or drama.
Dress Code
Columbia has room for all kinds—the indie rockers, the label whores, even the Abercrombie lovers have their support at Columbia. You can wear what you want, but for the most part, it's a laid-back jeans kinda place.
