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.

Shockingly Laid Back

There is plenty of diversity in appearance and personality, and it is impossible to not find friends with similar interests. Many of the students dress very nicely absolutely every day, but there is also a great number of students who appreciate a good sweat pants day. For the most part, everyone is surprisingly down to Earth and willing to help each other.

Good Looks

While the girls tend to look better than girls, there are great looking people of both genders. The guys also tend to be preppier. Main styles of dress on campus are either athletic or preppy. And almost everyone is very social--work hard, party hard. Most of the time, though, the furthest a "relationship" will go is friends with benefits. There definitely are a few relationships though.

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!
