Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students agree that Yale is a pretty attractive school and that the "look" of its students varies widely. The rumor that beauty is inversely proportional to intelligence is proven wrong here. Not only are many guys and girls hot, they are also talented, smart, funny, and interesting. What could be better?

Unfortunately, Yale students are also busy—so don't expect everyone to have time for a long-term committed relationship. Lots of students are part of the drunken hook-up scene (and the humiliating Walk of Shame the next morning), but students are also seriously interested in getting to know each other. Expect to see students flirting over lattes and Orgo notes or watching a movie in Arabic together. Yale is about the experience of living in an incredibly diverse, yet cohesive, community and the dating scene here proves it.

Better than Harvard.

Yale has some good looking guys and girls, and some not so good lucking guys and girls. It definitely is not like ASU, USC, UCLA in terms of attractive people. However, it does fine overall... just be sure to wear your "Yale goggles" since the standards are a little lower than normal.

Pretty Smart

Yalies deserve their reputation for being gorgeous. Better yet, they're really interesting people! :)

Finding the time and opportunity to date can be a challenge, though I do know several happy couples. Take advantage of Yale's "screws" (blind date dances) and get your suitemates to set you up with that cute guy/girl from section!

Facts

Social Scene

Yalies are truly interesting people. The social scene at Yale is incredibly varied and fulfilling. The residential college system makes it easy to make connections between students. By transforming Yale into smaller social units, the colleges make interactions less overwhelming and intimidating. They also sponsor social activities (dances, study breaks, movie nights, and the like) that provide great opportunities to make new friends. Also, campus organizations provide a place to meet people with similar interests, from politics to music.

Hookups or Relationships?

It really depends on what you want. If you want to hook up, chances are you can find someone if you go to the right places. However, there are plenty of Yalies looking for the love and support that relationships bring. It really comes down to your own personal choices and what you're looking for.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

At Yale, students study hard and party hard, so most people meet either in academic settings or at bars, clubs, and parties. Classes and clubs provide a setting in which you can slowly get to know someone and become friends first. As a bonus, you know off the bat that you have something in common such as a love for Russian literature or similar political beliefs. While academic connections often flourish into serious relationships, most students meet each other at bars, clubs, and parties. In drunken hazes, students dance, kiss, and sometimes go home with each other, but these hookups rarely develop further and often result in awkward sightings in the future.

Dress Code

There is no all-prevalent style at Yale. Instead, everybody does their own thing, from hipster to punk to blah to preppy. One might suggest that the only time there is a uniform look is during finals, when most people walk around in their pajamas or sweats. In general, however, most students at Yale look fairly put together. Students enjoy shopping at Urban Outfitters, J. Crew, American Apparel, Laila Rowe, and Salvo in New Haven. And don't forget that Yale sweatshirt and scarf!

  • Thinking of attending a certain Boston-based Ivy League (which shall remained un-named)? It is a fact universally acknowledged that Yalies are far more attractrive than the students of our northern rival!
