College Prowler Take
It may sound like a lot of places, but it certainly doesn’t sound like college: tons of young, beautiful women, surrounded by a small showing of fairly attractive, mostly gay men. But this is art school. Gay or straight, the RISD men are mostly kind, talented, and funny people, who, regardless of their other intentions, will gallantly offer to walk a girl home at night, no strings attached. Both the gay and straight dating scenes are vibrant and energetic, and there are plenty of clubs, bars, and coffeehouses for both depending on what kind of experience is desired. The women at RISD are smart, beautiful, and talented, and often dating at RISD is more inhibited by students’ tight work schedules than by the students themselves. The most important thing to remember at RISD is that it’s personality that gets you the farthest. While there are some very beautiful women and some hot guys around, it’s really all about the attitude. If you are unique and comfortable with yourself, you will become one of the sexiest students on campus. If personality didn’t get you as far as you wanted, talent and dedication will pick up the rest. If you are looking for casual hookups, you can find them, but you may be better off going to Brown parties or to bars where Johnson & Wales kids hang out because the intensity that comes with being at RISD and surrounding yourself with art usually transfers to intensity in relationships, as well.

The guys at RISD are horrible. First of all, there aren’t a lot of guys to start with. I find a lot of girls at RISD turning to guys from nearby colleges. |

Honestly, I think there’s a lot of beautiful guys and girls on campus, and I think they’re equally hot. There are probably more beautiful girls on campus than guys just because of the ratio. Unfortunately, there are practically no guys in the textiles department. If girls need to find guys, I would recommend going to Brown. I have a lot of guy friends on campus, but I see them more as good friends and not people to date. |

FactsBirth Control Available?
Yes - Free condoms provided by Health Services and Planned Parenthood.
Social Scene
Students are friendly and helpful toward fellow students, but it is difficult to break out or into a group because people tend to stay close to the groups they’ve already formed. The nice thing, though, is that many are open-minded, so there is a lot of freedom of expression, tolerance to different ideas, and acceptance of the far-fetched. Also, students know how to have fun in unique ways or head out to nearby parties.
Hookups or Relationships?
During freshman year, a lot of guys and girls come to RISD already in a relationship. And whether relationships are between RISD students or not, they are pretty serious. If not in relationships, students simply hook up—but the hooking-up scene ebbs away further into college years.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
A lot of people meet one another in studio classes. This is because studio classes are interactive and require communication with others. Otherwise, a lot of people meet mutually or in social events or settings, such as parties or at dinner.
Dress Code
Many students dress however they want to dress. But, students dress differently on different days, depending on what class they have that day. Some studio classes can get messy or require a lot of physical work, so students usually dress comfortably.
Did You Know?Top Places to Find Hotties:
1. At the bar
2. Across the studio, when you’re knee-deep in plaster and can’t move
3. Back home (wherever that may be)
Top Places to Hook Up:
1. Artists’ Ball (where everyone’s drunk and naked)
2. Electroflo (where everyone’s drunk and dancing)
3. Johnson & Wales (where everyone’s not from RISD)
