College Prowler Take

Don’t let Van Wilder or Girls Gone Wild give you any crazy ideas about college and what girls and guys will look like at Harvard. If physical attractiveness is important, then you might want to steer clear of Harvard College. Though most students believe that the student body is of average attractiveness, very few report a significant number of hot guys or girls on campus. Additionally, girls tend to accept the male population as average or better, while guys have a less positive outlook towards the female population.

The lack of looks at Harvard shouldn’t get you down just yet, though, because Boston is home to a myriad of other universities to find potential partners. But for those who believe looks are not everything, then Harvard students’ individuality should provide plenty of options.

As a freshman, people are extremely friendly, and everyone scrambles to meet as many people as possible. As you stay here, the people aren’t as outgoing, but everyone is friendly and helpful.

The Harvard girls are pretty interesting. The hot girls that are actually here are usually too busy to even come out and play. They are also usually taken by someone older, from my experiences.

I’d say they’re, overall, above-average, although some think we’re all hideous.

Taking into consideration that about 25 percent to 50 percent of the students don’t leave their rooms, the student population you actually see out is a fun, good-looking bunch. There are very few overweight people, so bodies tend to be either stringy or buff. Some people say there is no dating scene, but I would disagree. Asking or being asked out to dinner or for coffee has been pretty commonplace among both my girl and guy friends.

Facts

Birth Control Available?

Yes - University Health Services provides free condoms, and physicians will provide prescriptions for various methods of birth control.

Hookups or Relationships?

Random hookups do happen on the weekends (and weekdays see their share as well). However, most people are extremely busy and often are so focused on their work that relationships either die out or become serious within a short period of time. This isn't to say you'll never see lasting relationships: annoyingly cute couples walk the Yard surprisingly often. And the Harvard Magazine—the alumni publication—is always filled with news of Harvard newlyweds.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Through extracurricular organizations, friends, and finals clubs.

Dress Code

On the weekends, most people dress up to go out, but during weekday study breaks or hangout sessions, most anything goes (throughout the winter, however, dress code really doesn't matter because everyone is so bundled up to keep warm). In general, Harvard tends to be a bit more formal than average. On the weekend, guys generally sport khakis with a button down or knit-shirt, and a sweater or leather jacket. Girls' dress combinations vary greatly and will often depend on the weather to determine if a skirt or pants are appropriate.
