<p>Would you be more excited to meet someone from Wellesley?
Or a boy from Princeton?</p>
<p>Does what school he/attending have any effect on your attraction level?</p>
<p>I know I sound like Freud…but I’m just curious. </p>
<p>I personally have some great anticipations for girls from art/fashion schools
like Parsons. They obviously would have great style/mindset, and also fantastic at you-know-what.</p>
<p>not really it depends but I really want to go to Wellesley to have a look at the school curious</p>
<p>Girls at art/fashion schools may not share your opinion on what great “fashion sense” is. Have you ever seen some of the things runway models wear? If you’re gonna applaud the girls for anything, applaud them for their creativity and passion, that they’ve got plenty of. But don’t assume that means their dress is man-friendly – true “fashion” rarely is. (I have friends at these schools) Although yes, in my experience, us artsy girls tend to let our passion extend into our love lives 
</p>
<p>My boyfriend goes to Wake Forest and recently got into some top law schools. Is it something I like to brag on him for? Yeah, 'cause I’m proud. But it’s not the name of the school that got me to date him – it was the qualities that got him in, intelligence, drive, etc., that got me to date him. The school only affirmed that he was a good catch; it didn’t make him a good catch.</p>

<p>excellent expression totally agree with u</p>
<p>I think it really depends on the school…</p>
<p>Arizona St./UCSB/WVU- Partier, which can make her slighly less attractive
Community College- I’ll want to know why she wound up there. If it’s money, she becomes slightly less attractive; If it’s grades, she becomes less attractive
Ivy or Near Ivy (Top 20)- She’s probably really smart, hardworking and/or wealthy, which will make her more attractive
Majority of 20+ Schools- No real effect on her attractiveness
Certain schools I wouldn’t want to date girls that go there, like Texas A&M, BYU or any All-Womens colleges</p>
<p>crs1909, why would that make her less attractive if she chose to go to a community college for a couple years to save money?</p>
<p>More importantly, what’s wrong with women’s colleges?</p>
<p>If she chose to go to CC for two years to save money, that means…</p>
<p>1) She’s independent. She isn’t a “Daddy’s Girl” – she’s not used to her parents footing the bill, and she knows that what she wants in life, she has to work hard to get it herself, on her own merits.
2) She’s not spoiled.
3) She’s practical and rational.</p>
<p>Guys always complain that girls are spoiled and irrational. The CC girl seems to be the antithesis of this. So what gives? I don’t go to a CC, but I have respect for those who choose to do so because of money issues.</p>
<p>Okay, first of all, you don’t sound anything like Freud! ;] And a girl being artistically inclined doesn’t imply anything about her sexuality… An assumption like that is kind of ridiculous. </p>
<p>Trust me, I almost went to Pratt (for visual art). I’m not good in bed, haha, and I’m not particularly fashionable, either. (I’m not an art major now, but I still take art classes and conisder myself an artist regardless.)</p>
<p>I’m not going to make premature judgement calls about other human beings based solely on what schools they attend…though I do admittedly appreciate pretzelbreaker’s generalizations about community college girls (who attend CC to save money), as I am one (though money is not my only reason for attending CC). ;x</p>
<p>I’m sorry I wasn’t more specific about the CC money issue. I think the people that go to CC for monetary reasons can be broken down into two main categories…</p>
<p>1.) S/he could afford to go to a 4-year, but they figure why spend the extra money when I can spend 1/5, 1/10, whatever, at a CC. </p>
<p>2.) S/he can’t afford to go to a 4-year without taking on an unreasonable amount of debt. </p>
<p>For me, I’d prefer a woman that is of a similar economic class (Upper-Middle) or higher. </p>
<p>The girl would become slightly less attractive if she were a lower economic class. I’d just prefer a girl who comes from a similar economic background. I mean I wouldn’t hold it against her for being less wealhty, but it’s kind of like if I had to chose between a girl that is 5’2’’ versus 5’8’‘. Sure, I’d prefer the 5’8’’ girl, but I’ll still give the 5’2’’ girl a chance. Also, I should add that I’m 6’2’'. </p>
<p>In the end, everything is a case by case basis. The way I like to look at is that if I were to be set up on a blind date, and I had to chose from a girl from Sarah Lawrence, CC or UVA, I’d probably pick the girl from UVA. It doesn’t necessarily mean the Sarah Lawrence and CC girl aren’t datable, it’s just that given the limited information I have, I think I’d lean towards the UVA girl.</p>
<p>To be perfectly honest, I agree with crs1909’s comment. It sounds shallow, but I was nodding my head while I read it.</p>
<p>A girl from an ivy would be more attractive than a girl from a third-tier if you told me both girls were identical in looks, just different schools. It’s completely hypocritical considering I’m from St. John’s and am now transferring to either NYU (already accepted) or Cornell (I think I have a good shot), but I know I’m not alone in my opinion.</p>
<p>I would never ever rule out a girl because of the university she went to, though, and this train of thought is subconscious; it’s not a huge factor, either.</p>
<p>If a girl is pretty and bright, I wouldn’t care at all what school she went to. If I was borderlining and had options, then I’d use the school thing as a small factor.</p>
<p>also, don’t forget, people that go to similar schools, all other things aside, have something immediately in common, they spent roughly 4 years of their lives in communities that if not the same, were similar, and probably spent the years before that working very hard (or not very hard) to get there.</p>
<p>ah…lol interesting replies.</p>
<p>excellent question, weird place for it, but excellent question</p>
<p>This is an irrelevant post for transfer forum.</p>
<p>** MODERATOR PLEASE MOVE IT TO THE GENERAL DISCUSSIONS FORUM **</p>
<p>femina, do you go to West Point or something?</p>
<p>Oh well.</p>
<p>No. I have nothing against this thread but this is so irrelevant to this forum.</p>
<p>well you know decisions are rolling in and the wait/anticipation is simply violent. so this is a sort of cooling off. the 5-minute chit-chat with the guy next to you before you open that door for the important job interview. </p>
<p>i think a good number of people who transfer do so because they want something better(at least 70% I don’t think a lot of ppl apply to schools that are lower in ranking than their present college), as in recognition and what not…</p>
<p>so I wanted to know if this hunger for a better school passes on to the way they view other people, especially girls/guys they want to spend a lot of time with.</p>
<p>in this respect, this post is related to the transfer thread.</p>
<p>I think this is a fantastic post actually. We’re going to do a study on hotness of girls at different schools. Furthermore, we anticipate that there is a spectrum from sluttiness to Christian celibate. We think there’s a one to ten scale, but anticipate that somewhere in the middle is probably ideal. </p>
<p>For me personally, she has to be intelligent, but I don’t know about whether I’d be intimidated if she was at a better college than me. I don’t think I’d like a girl who transferred, I don’t want to explain why. The main thing though, is that she would have to understand me, my countless references to Arrested Development, and the weird faces I make in different situations.</p>
<p>I think his school is relevant to a certain degree. He needs to catch on to puns, cultural references, and a few random “smart-people” things that I like to throw into conversations. However, I once dated a guy who attended a big, unimpressive, state university who was very smart and able to keep up. I don’t think it is a rule, but I’ll probably have more in common with someone from a top university. You may or may not know that the Ivy League schools have mixers for young graduates in NYC. It’s essentially an inter-Ivy dating service. That’s how things work.</p>
