Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

When students cite the reasons they chose to attend UPS, the dating scene would probably not come up at all. Many women say they come to UPS to add a BA to their name, not an MRS. The guys, on the other hand, have a good chance of finding Mrs. Right since the high girl-to-guy ratio gives them a fairly large pool from which to choose. Given that the winters are chilly, most people are kept tucked under their jackets and hats between classes, making it hard to distinguish between potential date options. It does, however, make for nice surprises and spring flings when the flowers begin to bloom in May, when some of those preppy dressers might shed their khakis and Birkenstocks and actually show some skin.

That said, UPS students are attractive—even if they are not here to date. Well-dressed and good-looking guys and girls can be found in the business, English, and social science majors. But if you are too busy paying attention to the professor to check out who is hot amongst your classmates, pay attention in the cafeteria lines; your future significant other just might be the girl or guy three people ahead of you with the turkey sandwich on their tray.

A-

Social Life

There are definitely more girls than guys here and that seems to affect the dating scene. UPS has a stronger "hook up" culture and it seems like most people, who are in relationships, are in long term ones that are long distance or with non-students. The students here really enjoy the outdoors and are, in general, pretty liberal. The social life consists of house parties and the bar scene, especially on Thursdays, can be popular. The average student here tends to be hippie-attractive, athletic, probably smokes weed, supports liberal politics, and can pitch a tent- when it's pouring rain outside.

Relaxed

The people are great and their are a lot of different types of people. I will say there are more women than men, like many other liberal arts universities, but it has made it hard for me to connect to a lot of men on campus. Everyone is great though, relaxed and fun.
