Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Gay friendly, liberal, and eccentric—the guys and girls at New College don’t reflect the mainstream. The decision to attend New College is not typically one that is completely rooted in social factors. People come for the academics. There are many introverts. There can be no denying that the school attracts a certain type of person. Many contend that this is changing, but others have their doubts. It’s true that heterosexual males have the upper hand in the dating scene based on sheer numbers alone. While hookups and relationships exist, no generalizations can be made as to which of the two are more prevalent.

New College is a place where close relationships can form quickly and intensely. People who have dated for a week feel like it has been a month. The environment is conducive for relationships because of the coed dorms and the fact that it is so easy to get to know everybody. A certain solidarity exists within the student body. It is hard to have superficial, transient hookups in a place where everybody knows everybody, sees them eat on a daily basis, and takes the same courses. A fling can become too awkward in a setting like this, and many opt out. But this can backfire when people get sick of seeing each other and want something new. That’s what Walls and Ringling School of the Arts are for.

Its normal to see girls with unshaven armpit and legs, no make up, and very short hair. However, nudity is very popular on campus so you'll see naked girls on a fairly regular basis.

Some girls have armpit hair and shave their heads. the boys are okay - they're not too muscled so i still look good in comparison. Basically i like my girls to be girls and my boys to be boys.

"Guys and Girls at Your School"

I've met some really amazing people here, friends I will have for life. When I first moved here, I was overwhelmed by how many smart and interesting people I met immediately. By fourth year, though, my circle of friends is pretty small. A lot of people are annoying.
