There are plenty of students looking for a serious relationship, and there are even more who are looking to just hook up. Beware! On a typical Friday night, most guys are hunting to find the right girl to take home for the night. The phrase “one-night stand” rolls out of the mouths of so many Albany students.

On the other hand, students can find some really great people, who they end up marrying and starting wonderful lives with. For girls, if you’re looking for the perfect guy, you have a wide selection of types, from preppy to jocks, punks to romantics, funny to sweet. As for guys, there are so many types of girls as well: smart, high maintenance, low maintenance, humorous, athletic, and so on.

The majority of the students on campus are from Long Island (no, that is not the city). A good portion of the student body are from the city (New York), and the rest from upstate. Some girls dress like they’re going to a club. Some people look like they came right out of Woodstock. Overall, there are many guys and girls that are attractive. You will be able to find someone.

The sheer size of the school guarantees hundreds and hundreds of attractive people of the opposite sex. Walking to and from classes, I would often spot several of the best-looking girls I’d ever seen, and I’m not exaggerating. It’s worth adding, that because of the high attractiveness volume, relationships here usually don’t last beyond the morning after the one-night stand.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Students are searching for Mr./Ms. Right everywhere, from classrooms to dorms, from frat parties to bars. Also, joining extracurricular activities, such as clubs and sports, is a great way to meet someone with the same interests as your own.

Dress Code

The school has a wide range of students who dress in a variety of ways. For class, most students just roll out of bed, put a hat on, and go to class in their pajamas. Comfort is definitely a top priority, especially for those early a.m. classes. On the other hand, you can definitely find girls decked out in skirts and Prada shoes, while some guys sport their Armani Exchange gear instead of wind-pants and sweatshirts. Albany has its fair share of everything from hippies to trendies. When it's time to hit the bars, most everyone spends extra time to look their best. Some bars are less dressy, and you can find people rockin' out their jeans and favorite band's T-shirt, while others hooch it out, load on the makeup, and slap on extra cologne.
