Truman State University - Guys & Girls - Student ReviewsCollege Prowler2.89
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.

Appearances
D+
The majority of people are not attractive but are not ogres. They tend to be below average. There are a few Greek members who worry too much about their appearances, especially when the prettiest people I have seen are non-Greek. Most beauty on campus are the people that don't realize how attractive they are. |

Leggings.
B
I have never seen so many leggings in my life. I wear sweatpants to class and other girls look as though they are going to the club. I would say people try to be very fashionable here. There aren't that many guys. Most of them are feminine. |

When I first got to Truman, I was...
When I first got to Truman, I was informed of a thing called ‘Truman vision,’ the term used by some guys on campus to describe the tool necessary for finding women. This implied that the women at Truman aren’t much to look at, and it is assumed that this is because they are smart. I’m not really sure how that logic works, but from what I can tell, it is pretty accurate. This is not to say that there aren’t very attractive people at Truman, but the percentage of them is far lower than at a place like Mizzou. That said, I must say that that trend has been slowly changing with the crop of young women getting better each year I attended. I’m not sure what’s up with that, but who’s complaining? |

Yes - Two brands of birth control pills are offered. One pack of pills is $15, and a three-pack is $40. Proof of a recent Pap smear is required, but the center can do the examination if needed. The student health center also sells condoms at three for $1.
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.
