Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Eh—that’s all I can say. There’s nowhere else to go once you’re in Kirksville, unless you make friends with the med students at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, so everyone tends to adopt a love-the-one-you’re-with perspective. The guys may not be buff, and most of the girls aren’t models, but there are some remarkably attractive people walking around, if you’re looking for the kind with black-framed glasses and an iPod in tow. People have been known to go to Mizzou, an hour-and-a-half drive, for the purpose of a good hookup. Rumor has it the students there are twice as pretty and twice as dumb.

There’s a 6:4 ratio of girls to guys, so a lot of single girls aren’t happy with their classmates as far as looks are concerned. But there are very happy couples with a remarkable variation in traditional attractiveness. And it seems that anyone can find a willing make-out buddy on a Saturday night if they’re looking for a meaningless good time. However, you’re more likely to study what makes someone sexually attractive (a 1.618 ratio between certain facial angles and a 0.7 waist-to-hips ratio for women, in case you’re wondering) than to find a wide selection of specimen. There may be many fish in the sea, but Kirksville, unfortunately, is as landlocked as they come.

Truman Scale

Welcome to Truman, home of the Truman scale. Whats the Truman scale? Well, unfortunately Truman has a pretty terrible selection when it comes to girls. Sure, there are the occasional attractive girls but they tend to know how attractive they are and have terrible personalities as a result. Truman does however have a large population of butter faces, just straight up ugly girls, a fair amount of average looking girls and a very small number of attractive girls...so what is a guy to do? Use the Truman scale my friend. With the Truman scale you essentially scale down your normal standards and drop them by three points. So now a girl that outside of Truman would be a 5/10 is now a 8/10.

Its terrible, its awful, but its Truman.

True Nerds at Truman

When you go to Truman, you should know that you're signing up to go to a nerd's school. Saturday mornings have foam-sword fights, wednesdays have nerf gun wars, and there is a large scale game (300+ people) of zombies once a semester. There are always exceptions, but the Truman attraction level is in essence what it means to be average.

Two Groups

There seems to be a wide variety of guys here! Everything from the athletes, to the artsy types, to the stereo-typical nerds. Yet, a lot of the girls like their comfy clothes and aren't afraid to show it. They wear a lot of gym gear, sweatshirts, tennis shoes, and sport the ponytail. But! There are plenty of girls who like dressing nice daily and have fun dressing up on weekend nights!

Facts

Social Scene

An advantage of attending Truman is the friendly atmosphere that accompanies the small campus and town. The easiest way to get assimilated into collegiate culture is to participate in Truman Week, the adjustment period for freshmen. Everyone waves to everyone else, and the upperclassmen become your allies. Almost every student seems to have been an overachiever in high school, so there’s no stigma attached to being studious. Jocks have computer science friends, and anime addicts date Republicans. But students who want a wide circle of friends will have to go looking.

Hookups or Relationships?

Hookups are pretty frequent. The morning walk across campus in heels and smudged mascara or a crinkled shirt full of tequila stains following a “sleep over” has been decreed the Walk of Shame. Yet, more than 1,500 people at Truman list their Facebook status as “in a relationship.” Hmm . . . .

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Sadly, the library. While it’s a bit cliché, most students date those with similar interests. However, meeting a potential boyfriend or girlfriend at a party is not uncommon, especially at smaller get-togethers thrown by mutual friends. Alcohol, or just the general tone of a weekend night, makes it easier to open up and get to know people. Fair warning though: It might not be smart to commit “dormcest” and date your next-door neighbor. If the relationship goes sour, he or she can still see you with bed hair or sans makeup.

Dress Code

Lots of fraternities and sororities require weekly dress-up days, so you’re likely to see sport coats and stilettos from time to time. As far as the non-Greek population is concerned, jeans are uniform, and sweatpants come in second. But there are many students who dress sharp every day, so expect button-down shirts and cashmere in some classes. During the winter, everyone gives up on looking good because no one can see clearly out of their puffy coats and scarves anyway.
