College Prowler Take

Oh, the joys of being young and in college. NU is full of attractive people, and most of them are just waiting to hook up. The problem is the communication—students seem to need some sort of dating guide, because both girls and guys don’t know how to treat each other properly. For every good relationship, there seems to be about 10 bad ones.

NU is a sexually open campus—the school has events on sex (Sex Week), and students are always talking about who hooked up, who sleeps around, and who’s still a virgin. Even if you come to school a virgin freshman year, chances are you won’t stay one for long. Nonetheless, there are still a few students who seem primarily interested in having a relationship but haven’t found the right girl or guy.

It's a very apathetic campus, where it seems 50 percent of the student body runs 100 percent of the University. People are relatively relaxed and laid back. There is zero pressure to dress up for class, although no one looks at you funny if you do. By the time you're a senior, you have already worked in the "real world" for about a year, so students know how to handle themselves as professionals. There are definitely good-looking guys and girls. I think it's a relatively outgoing campus, and there is always some one to hang out with.

Like anywhere, the guys and girls...

Like anywhere, the guys and girls at Northeastern have a lot of variation. It's college, so of course you will have your annoying stupid guys that only care about drinking and sex, and their female counterpart. But, the good thing about Northeastern is there's so many people that everyone can find their group—it doesn't matter what you like, you can find it here.

While Boston is a pretty diverse city, Northeastern students are pretty typical. NU largely consists of preppy, fashionable students. Going out at night is a fashion show. Northeastern draws a pretty big Jewish population, and it seems every girl wears Uggs.

There are a lot of different types of guys here—there are some sporty types, some laid-back, hippie types, and some intellectual types. The same goes for girls. Some will dress up in the latest fashions to go to class, while others will go in sweats and a T-shirt. While I would not say it is an extremely attractive campus, there are some very good-looking people, as well as those who have a different, yet attractive look. I would say that there are more attractive girls than guys here.

Some of the guys are gorgeous, and some of the girls are very pretty, too. Watch out for the fake-bakers, and please don’t ever become one; keep your tan to a warm latte, please, for all our sakes.

Social Scene

The ratio of guys to girls at Northeastern is about even, and no matter what you’re looking for, it’s likely that you’ll be able to find your match here. Many students also come to visit Northeastern from nearby schools, such as Boston University, Harvard, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so it’s very easy to meet somebody at a party, club meeting, or even just through friends. There’s never a shortage of available students, and Northeastern students are big on going out for dates—especially since Boston has so much to offer!

Hookups or Relationships?

More and more, NU is becoming a relationship school. Maybe it's because of the cold weather and the desire to cuddle up to someone. In any case, NU students are very attractive, and they are always meeting new prospects, even from neighboring schools. If you're looking for a relationship, it can seem like a hopeless cause, because all anyone wants to do is hook up (in both a regular and meaningless context). There are few one-night stands, though, and many NU students come to college with little to no sexual experience.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

There are tons of places to meet guys and girls at NU. Besides meeting people in residence halls, NU students like to go out on the town and party it up. You can go to a bar or club nearby on Boylston or Newbury Street, or head to Tiger Lily in a big group (the “Scorpion Bowls” are strong, and it’s easy to meet someone there for a nightcap). Another place to meet a prospect is at a party, although, chances are, it won’t be more than a one-night thing. Our House is a bar right off campus, and you’ll usually find a gaggle of girls and guys watching the game and eating $1 burgers. It’s pretty easy to chat someone up there during a commercial. Of course, there is always the possibility that you could meet someone at the Marino Center gym or in the library, but you’d better make sure you look particularly sexy when you’re sweating or studying.

Dress Code

The basic style is casual, but some people get more dressed-up. Since the University is so close to major shopping areas of Boston, students find any excuse to shop and pretty much always want to look their best. Some students have to have the newest, most expensive items; other students could care less and show up to class in sweats. Nonetheless, it is not uncommon to find people looking good, even at the gym.
