College Prowler Take
Wesleyan is not widely recognized for the attractiveness of its student body. The stereotype, which only holds a certain amount of truth, is that all Wesleyan guys are bearded and barefoot, and all Wesleyan girls are unshaven and unwashed. In actuality, the student body represents a wide spectrum of body and personality types. One thing that can be said with certainty, however, is that Wesleyan is an extremely open place, which basically means that there is a lot of free love going on. Although there is the occasional relationship drama that happens at any university, there is also a considerable ‘no fuss, no muss’ mentality. While drunken party hookups are not uncommon, candlelight and a full moon are also aphrodisiacs to the more poetically-minded Wesleyan students. Though casual sex is common, Wesleyan is also an extremely conscious and responsible university. STDs and pregnancy are taken very seriously, and it’s rare to find people acting in a way that might be dangerous to themselves or others when it comes to hooking up. Wesleyan also offers many programs and even a public-service announcement or two concerning rape and sexual assault. These programs, one of which takes place during orientation, are real eye-openers, and they teach students how to safeguard against many different types of abuse. Essentially, Wesleyan is not a drunken orgy kind of a school, but neither is it anything close to “abstinent status.” The rallying cry of most students is “I’ll try anything once,” and while there is rarely any peer pressure when it comes to matters of intimacy, incoming students should take note that the Wesleyan student body fosters a great environment for experimentation.

Not every chick is a militant lesbian. There are some really cute, sweet girls on campus who don't hate everything with a penis.

I truly believe that at Wesleyan...
I truly believe that at Wesleyan you will find every type of person. People think that we're all a bunch of vegan, hemp-wearing hippies, and while we certainly have our fair share of those, we also have jocks, hipsters, frat boys, and artists. And the coolest thing about the people at Wesleyan is that they are often all of those things at once. We have frat boys who act in plays and hipsters who play sports. Because as cheesy as it sounds, that's really the kind of place Wesleyan is. One where people actually feel comfortable being themselves, no matter what that is.

Anything from jock to hipster goes at Wes. People are generally quirky in some way, though, and as someone who falls somewhere in between, I really like that no one quite fits their stereotype perfectly. I never got along with jocks in high school and when i found out my freshman roomie was a varsity soccer player, I was a little nervous. And sure, she wears American Eagle like its going out of style, but she is also one of the most random and spacey and intelligent people I've ever met. The people are just generally interesting, if at times pretentious.

I'd say the girls are getting a lot better. Beautiful girls exist, you just have to actually go out to find them–they're not going to just show up at your dorm. I'd say overall the guys are better looking than the girls. This year's freshman class was very good however in terms of girls.

Wesleyan’s not that great...
Wesleyan’s not that great attractiveness-wise, but if you have interesting tastes, this could be the place for you. People tend to dress in their own unique styles, which lead to some extremely attractive and alluring outfits, and some which are just putrid. Anyway, people continue to hook up, so they must be doing something right. |

Social Scene
As a rule, Wesleyan students are extremely extroverted, sometimes, more than necessary. While the majority of Wes students probably did not sit at the popular lunch table in high school, rather than becoming self-conscious introverts, many students here decided to blossom into cheerful, gregarious individuals in their college years. Rather than struggling to find someone to talk to at a party, most visiting students wonder how to get their companions to shut up. Wes students love to talk, play, wrestle, joke, laugh, and horse around with one another. It is not uncommon to see two friends tackling one another on Foss Hill or playing full-contact croquet on Andrus Field. Wesleyan students are mostly friendly and genuinely want everyone around them to be as excited about life as they are. Certain niches of the social scene do have an element of snobbery, however. The theater and visual art departments, in particular, are known for having one or two snooty members per clique. Eclectic, one of the houses on campus, is extremely exclusive and self-contained, and this sometimes leads people to see them as anti-social. These tend to be exceptions to the rule, however, as most groups and organizations are extremely accepting of others. At Wesleyan, you’re going to make friends, whether you like it or not.
Hookups or Relationships?
Relationships at Wesleyan are as varied and colorful as the students themselves. While there is a small contingent of students in long-term relationships (who all get together to watch “How I Met Your Mother” on Monday nights), the rest of the campus ranges from consistently hooking up with one person to polyamory. Student tastes run from the mundane to the exotic (WesKink is Wesleyan’s BDSM club). Also, upperclassmen are known to prey on freshmen.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
Any major social event on campus is a good place to meet people. At Wesleyan, a student is just as likely to strike up a conversation with the guy or girl in the third row as it is to land a date with that incredible pianist who was giving you the eye at the jazz concert. For serious relationships, people tend to meet doing the things they love, whether it be dancing, working in the scene shop, taking a class on medieval European illuminated manuscripts, or just shooting the breeze.
Dress Code
Because of the eccentric student body, on any given day, one can see anything from sweatpants to a pin-stripe suit. Wesleyan students tend to love traditional hippy attire (flip-flops, hemp and dreadlocks), traditional hipster attire (tight jeans, plaid shirts and hair that obscures the eyes), or ensembles that look like the losing end of a fight with a thrift store (granny glasses a plus). The T-shirt advertising some obscure product or rock star is always a staple, and accessories may include anything from cowboy hats to costume jewelry. Above all, Wesleyan students tend to dress to their mood and personality, which more often than not is showy and cheerfully bizarre.
