College Prowler Take

To be blunt, San Diego State is home to lots of gorgeous people. Girls at SDSU are known to be some of the prettiest in the state, and you would be hard-pressed to disagree. Heidi Klum would fit in perfectly here. Guys are known to be almost as equally attractive, but they care a lot less about their looks than the women. The attractiveness of the student population probably has something to do with the school’s social reputation as “the place to be.” The perfect weather certainly helps paint everyone in a positive light. If you’re looking for a college with people who are easy on the eyes, it does not get much better than at San Diego State.

Girls are beautiful here, thanks to both their natural beauty and the care they put into their appearance. Guys are also good-looking if you like the surfer look, but frankly, they just don’t care much about how they look. The downside to all this attractiveness, if any, is the complaint about the superficiality of everyone. I have heard numerous arguments about how most people who attend this school are shallow and care more about the hair on top of their head than the knowledge inside their head. This perspective is true to some extent, but with people as attractive as they are, it would be strange if they weren’t a tad bit superficial; it comes with the territory. With some of the most beautiful college students around, you couldn’t ask for much more out of San Diego State.

The guys are pretty hot on our campus, but many of them are accompanied by an ego. The girls are also very good-looking. More than the majority of our campus is very pretty.

Of course there are hot guys and girls; it’s a college in Southern California. Some are idiots and some are nice. Hopefully, there are a few people on campus who are here to learn instead of worrying about hot guys and girls.

There’s almost a 2/3 to 1/3 girls to guys ratio. There are so many hot girls down here; it drives me insane, in a good way. As far as the guys, there’s a good sampling of them with everything from frat-heads to nerds. There’s every type of guy at this school.

Facts

Birth Control Available?

Yes - Student Health Services can prescribe and sell birth control pills. They also offer condoms and morning-after pills.

Social Scene

A majority of students would describe the dating scene at San Diego State as desolate. Perhaps it is the extreme attractiveness of the women that intimidates the guys. Or maybe it's the atmosphere they've been raised on since freshman year which encourages solidarity. More dating tends to takes place among the more conservative (those who don't party) students, while the wilder set seems content to simply hook up during the weekend. It seems that a large portion of the dating scene at San Diego State has been replaced by drunken weekend hookups.

Hookups or Relationships?

There are more hookups than relationships. Because of the large size of the school, the pool never runs dry.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

It varies, some students go to class in sweats and a T-shirt, signifying that they don’t want to talk to anyone. There are students who go to class dressed in their best attire, perhaps it means they are willing to meet new people. But other than meeting people under the roofs of the classroom, outside of the school setting is where you meet potential hook-up buddies. At weekend parties, you are much more likely to meet a potential hook-up buddy than at any other time.

Dress Code

Girls: Sundresses, miniskirts, or short shorts, and flip-flops are the way to go around campus. Guys: Go for a very casual, laid-back look of T-shirts, jeans, flip-flops or Vans, and aviator-style sunglasses.
