Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

While the joke is that the “NYU girl” standard uniform is black leggings, a baggy shirt-dress, and a latte in hand, ladies at NYU represent every fashion genre and are an attractive bunch. Overall, NYU women navigate the city streets and social scenes with confidence and ease. Those NYU girls that choose to abandon the glamorous single life and all the benefits it affords them, like free entrance to clubs, often choose a partner outside of NYU. With a whole city of men to choose from, NYU ladies often date beyond the campus sphere.

The three main categories for NYU males are gay, jackass, and taken—in that order of likelihood. Many NYU girls complain that there are no straight guys at NYU, but the straight guys beg to differ. Many of them take advantage of the fact that the male-to-female ratio is in their favor, and most have no plans of settling in to a long-term relationship any time soon. The other half are happily committed and not tempted by the life of debauchery that they could easily have.

Better for Boys

I think the percentage of girls is 59% at NYU. There is also a large gay population at NYU. There is a diverse crowd at NYU in terms of a student's "look", you could probably find any type of kid you could think of. It seems like most people are hopelessly single, but there's always a chance of true love! ha.

Big Variety

Especially at NYU Tisch, the student body is very diverse. A thing that most guys and girls have in common here is a strong sense of individualism, which they express through their alternative tastes in fashion and music.

Facts

Social Scene

Pretty much every type of personality is represented at NYU, so once you become situated, it shouldn't be hard to find your own group. Once you've bypassed that initial obstacle, there are a lot of fun-loving partiers to be found at NYU. Or if you're more of the study group social butterfly, there are plenty of intellectuals to discuss theories with. In fact, many of the students at NYU love to hear themselves talk, so there is never a shortage of stimulating conversation.

Hookups or Relationships?

The girls at NYU often find themselves frustrated with the lack of straight guys, and thus, venture into the wilds of NYC or other universities to find a mate. Some are in relationships, but a lot of girls commiserate over the lack of guys and date around. Guys also tend to prefer dating or hookups to long-term relationships, although many girls say it seems that all the decent straight guys at NYU have girlfriends. For whatever reason, you won't find many couples in which both partners attend NYU.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

While NYU is by no means a big party school, students love to have a good time and let off some steam. The best bet for finding a guy or girl is to get out on the weekends. Local bars and clubs are full of potential hotties, NYU students and otherwise. Another option is available when the weather permits. Sitting out in Washington Square Park can be a rewarding experience for those searching for a mate. Students come here on their lunch breaks or between classes to study, read, play guitar, skateboard, and just chill out. Sometimes when the fountain is empty, shows put on by local performers draw crowds of guys and girls, proving to be great conversation starters.

Dress Code

Nope. Trust me—you can wear whatever you want. Really.
