#19 Wesleyan University

#19 Wesleyan University

Middletown — Connecticut

The social life is hoppin' every night and most people are friendly. There is a certain amount of pretentiousness but it doesn't get out of hand. Also, important note: there are so many attractive people (male and female on this campus it's almost overwhelming... almost)."

However, most students have a passion for making the most of their time not only at UCLA but as young adults entering the world. And this is more attractive than physical appearance."

#16 Wake Forest University

#16 Wake Forest University

Winston-Salem — North Carolina

There is a mix of Southern and Northern brands but definitely buy cowboy boots and bring sundresses/buttondowns and ties for tailgates!"

That being said, Miami tends to have a certain stereotype, 'J.Crew U,' but it is not uncommon for most students to wear jeans to class."

#13 Yale University

#13 Yale University

New Haven — Connecticut

"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.

#5 Stanford University

#5 Stanford University

Stanford — California

"The guys are really hot at Stanford. They all just seem built for Stanford weather and athletics and manage to go to the gym frequently. The girls are also attractive. The girls are not your 'girl-next-door' type though; they tend to be really sociable."

"There is a HUGE range of people here at Stanford, even more than at most other schools, so unless you're a recluse and don't ever get out or do much, you'll have no trouble finding hotties of every shape, size, talent, hobby, personality, and sexual orientation. Trust me. When I first got into Stanford I was really afraid that every one here would be a super awkward nerd or a huge snob, but the complete opposite is the case."

#4 Georgetown University

#4 Georgetown University

Washington D.C.

"There is a great deal of diversity within the student body, although at first glance it might not appear that way. Many students at Georgetown are preppy but most try to differentiate themselves in some way which leads to some quirkiness."

"There's a sporty atmosphere so quite a few students hit the gym often; however, the library is never empty (and the 2nd floor study space's coffee shop makes it a social hangout). Most social interactions take place through clubs and campus groups (ask any Georgetown student what they're involved in on-campus and you'll get a list of at least 4 clubs and/or a sports team). The campus groups are often the ones hosting the parties, but at the same time, they give you a chance to know guys and girls pretty well through daytime activities."

#3 University of Virginia

#3 University of Virginia

Charlottesville — Virginia

"Everyone here is so friendly and energetic. People are involved in a million things, while still managing to find time to ace class and party. The 'work hard play hard' mentality is definitely prevalent, but there are plenty of Type B people as well. Don't be scared off by some of the stereotypes about everyone being preppy or elitist...there are plenty of different kinds of people here and most of them are nice!"

"UVA has a lot of very, very attractive people. It has a reputation for having students that are stuck up, but that's surprisingly not the case. The fact that people here are ridiculously good looking has not made them jerks. Most people are down to earth and friendly."
