Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although the guys seem to be rated slightly higher than the girls, Cornell University is huge, so there are plenty of choices. Stereotypes do exist, so you may find the occasional anti-social dork or arrogant frat-boy, but there are plenty of fun and attractive people if you look around.

The Greek system is a huge part of the social scene, leading to an abundance of antiquated stereotypes about women, casual hookups, and mindless drinking, but some people enjoy the Greek scene. Others prefer to hang out in Collegetown or downtown Ithaca, and you can generally find a more diverse selection of people at these places.

Were Attractive Okay ...

If your fat, you cannot survive here, really. I have seen one obese kid on campus and he stand out like a sore thumb against all of the well toned bodies of the students of Cornell. We walk up an down hills all day, so exercise is built into our schedules, you really have to try to be overweight. Beyond that, there are a lot of uninteresting people, people i would not find emotionally attractive. Physically speaking though: the girls are great, the guys could use some improvement. There are a long of lanky nerdy types, mainly around the engineering campus, and a ton of farm boys ... and girls hanging around the Ag School. The really attractive people are in hotel

Nice Variety

You can find all sorts of people at Cornell, and fortunately most of them are smart. No matter what crowd they'll be the nice girls, the party girls, sorority girls, and of course, the nerdy ones. As for boys, its the same. Cornell has a large population of classic frat boys but they come in a wide variety of both douchebags and nice guys.

Facts

Social Scene

Cornell's diverse student body affords the chance for various unique interactions with many groups of guys and girls from a wide array of different backgrounds. It's not hard to meet friendly students with similar interests as yours. In general, the people at Cornell are very social, and you'll always find fraternity parties and bars packed to the brim with a very good ratio of guys to girls.

Hookups or Relationships?

At Cornell, you'll find a little bit of everything: a lot of non-committal, random hookups as well as many serious, long-term relationships. If you're looking for an evening fling, it's not hard to find, especially at an after-hours fraternity party. Interestingly, an estimated 75 percent of couples who leave Cornell together end up getting married. So if you're still in that relationship at graduation, then carefully consider the possibilities of a wedding in the near future!

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Meeting guys and girls is not difficult at Cornell, especially since you'll find yourself in close-knit groups during sections and seminars. Initially for freshmen, the best place to meet is in the dorms and at the dining halls which promote a relaxed and social ambiance. Parties, although less conducive to good conversation, are also places to meet people. Collegetown and Ithaca bars, like the Chapter House, are popular student hangouts as well.

Dress Code

Most students dress down for class, favoring warmer, bulkier clothing in the cold Ithaca weather. When going out, fashions range from casual to dressy. Fraternities and sororities have semi-annual formal events, which necessitate fancier clothing.
