Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Lots of Bookworms

Since everyone at Columbia is so intelligent and have their own opinions, it does pose some conflicts. However, for the most part everyone is repsectful, kind and personable. There are a lot of bookworms though.

Diverse - but Busy Busy

A nice range to choose from - ethnically and economic status... you name it. Just everyone is very busy, and being NYC .. you need to make an effort to meet people. But very rewarding if you do make the attempt! :D

Facts

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.
