College Prowler Take
While LC has more than its share of nerdy types and hippie wanabees, most students are decent in terms of looks. Fabled to be a hippie school, the way of the unwashed, Birkenstock-wearing flower children has disappeared in favor of hipsters, quasi-preps, and dumpster-divers. There also appears to be a rising prevalence of jocks as the administration attempts to make the school more of a sports school as opposed to a pot-smoking school, which still remains its forte. Regardless, there are still plenty of hippie children on campus, but there is more variety of the types of girls and guys on campus. Of course, despite this variety and diversity in clothing styles and personal identification, the pickings on campus are still slim. Both men and women have a hard time finding someone attractive and end up settling for someone they might not have considered elsewhere. There seem to be more attractive women than men on campus, which means that there are pretty cute girls with lower standards. The typical boy on campus is skinny with unwashed hair and shirts that look like they were found in a dumpster—which can either work very well and look rather chic or look kind of ridiculous. Girls range from the typical hippie girl to the prissy pump-wearing frilly gal. Students Speak Out

The typical guy wears pants that fit too tightly around the legs and too loosely around the buttocks. There's generally a sort of blank look hovering about the facial features, as if they've recently had a lobotomy performed, which pretty much accurately reflects what's going through the average LC guy's mind. The girls vary widely between super hot hipster girls to annoyingly perky athlete/student government types who wear sweatpants with words printed on the ass and pretend it's not a cheap ploy to get you to stare.

I think there are a lot of beautiful and naturally gorgeous girls at LC, and they don't flaunt it. The guys don't usually have big muscles, but they have big hair, or at least it's shaggy. The guys are still fit for the most part because they are active, and there are a lot of really attractive ones. People get a lot of credit based on personality, as well, and judgement definitely isn't all on looks. The more that's interesting and unique the better.

There's a mix. Mostly people are probably what would generally be considered nerdy, but that's normal here. Although Lewis and Clark is a college community, people tend to be very independent and individualistic so making personal, meaningful connections may not be everyone's forte or intention.

The typical type of people who go...
The typical type of people who go to Lewis and Clark are hippie wannabes. Everyone is very liberal, which is interesting because most students are upper-middle class white kids. There's not much diversity on campus, but that's something the administration is trying to increase. There are a lot of students from foreign countries, though, and learning about different cultures is a big part of life here.

A large majority of the boys here wear girls' clothing: headbands, skinny jeans... it appears LC has been hit quite hard by the hipster tidal wave sweeping the nation. The girls are difficult to categorize, just because everyone is really different. If you're a girl who is into girls, you'll consider LC paradise---the lesbian population is sizable and attractive.

FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - At the Student Health Center
Social Scene
Casual—most students are very friendly and accepting, though they don't go out of their way to make new friends.
Hookups or Relationships?
There isn’t a lot of variety for straight females. The men here are either gay, taken, or not desirable. Straight men have a variety of females to choose from, if you’re into the quasi-hippy feminist who don’t like shaving and has hair shorter than most males on campus. As for lesbians, LC is a Mecca for many, with a healthy selection to mediate through. As far as long-term relationships, regardless of sexual orientation, it ranges from hook-ups better left forgotten or long-term relationships where the couple is practically married. There is little in between room, and the general consensus among students is that they have no prospects for relationships on campus.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
Outside on the lawns, Estate Gardens when it's sunny, the library, Maggie's Café, and off-campus parties. The eaiser way is in classes, because then you have something in common to start the small-talk. Once you know each other better, sitting together in the Bon can lead to more shared concerns about the food you’re eating.
Dress Code
"Birkenstock wearing, tree-hugging, clove-smoking vegetarians." That sums up the dress code. It's all about tie-dyed tops, dreads, and expensive clothes that don't look expensive. Sometimes the boys wear skirts! Many students, especially freshmen, are into the "hipster" look—really tight pants and a snobby vibe. While it seems that the school is making an effort to recruit students who are less hippie-ish and more conservative, most students seem to settle into the LC dress code, which is casual, fun, and individualistic. If you iron your clothes or spend a lot of time getting ready in the morning, you'll be in the minority at LC.
