<p>some of those girls are actually gorgeous, it's just a bad picture. beautiful girls aren't necessarily all models who know how to make themselves look good in pictures. You can honestly only look so good in no makeup and a bikini in 30 degree weather.</p>

Seriously, are the top technical/science-oriented really as bad as they're made out? Ignoring the fact that more men generally attend them than women do and the whole competition issue, are most of the women that attend there really that bad looking?</p>
<p>MIT for instance sports a 43% women and 57% men student body. Men don't outnumber women by a -whole- lot there.

<p>Well, to be fair, the tech culture is one that simply doesn't value primping and grooming very much. That's all part of the geek culture.</p>
<p>I'll tell you this. At MIT, at Caltech, and in the engineering program at Berkeley, and even in the science program at Harvard, I have met guys who literally haven't showered in several months. That is, whether we like it or not, part of the tech culture.</p>

<p>Wow, I didn't realize McGill had that reputation. Middlebury (home of the beautiful people) and Colgate were the only northern schools I had heard of like this.</p>
<p>I'm not sure which school has the best-looking student body.. but I'll definitely know by next year, unless I fail Gym or something like that...</p>
<p>Seriously though probably Duke, Vanderbilt, UVA and Brown...</p>
<p>DOOK has good looking girls??</p>
<p>Man, you guys REALLY have low expectations....figure that's the case... Sorry but you guys must be smoking some SERIOUS crack!!!</p>
<p>I will vouch for USC though; their co-eds are out of this world. And UT-Austin too has awesome looking chicks.</p>
<p>Surprised nobody's mentioned Michigan though. Let's just say I've been around the block and seen MANY pretty co-eds.</p>
<p>My friend moved out to Phoenix, AZ and we went to an ASU bar by the school and it was amazing in terms of female eye candy.</p>
<p>Last April we took our son to look at Lafayette College in PA. All 3 of us independently noticed the same thing-- there were NO ugly kids on campus! All the girls were pretty, all the guys were buff. Everyone smiled (maybe because it was a 74 degree sunny day in April). Honestly, it looked like we were walking thru a catalogue. We theorized that since it was April break and lots of hs kids were touring, maybe they made the ugly kids stay in their dorms? lol Seriously, my sister in law was in a restaurant near Lafayette when the LC women's lacrosse team came in to eat. She said this group could have passed for the Swedish bikini team.</p>
<p>girls? boston college.</p>
<p>ASU easily. playboy even agrees.</p>
<p>McGill is phenomenal fo hot girls, and the guys are usually small and feminine, providing little competition. In fairness, the hottest girls are the francophones in Montreal that could never and would never go to McGill...they work at restaurants/clubs/strip joints/etc. and wait for rich dudes to pick them up. But there's a reason so many business men come up to Montreal to hold their conferences/conventions, and tons of porno gets shot here...</p>
<p>I've turned College P.r.o.w.l.e.r.'s A, B, C etc grades for Guys & Girls into numbers (example: C-: 1.6666, C:2.0, C+: 2.3333). Then, I added the Guys score to the Girls score, then divided by 2. This "attractiveness factor" is then ranked for CC's college listings....I'll start with Ivies below, and continue in further posts with Top Universities & Top LACs as I crank the spreadsheets.</p>

<p>ALL OTHERS ARE B's.</p>
<p>...interesting....Ivies are solid B's (no A's or C's)....about the only attribute those Ivy students can't directly control.</p>
<p>UCLA an "A"?!? That's ridiculous....it's not even one of the 5 most attractive schools in California. You would easily rank the following over them...</p>
<p>San Diego State
Pepperdine
USD
USC
LMU</p>
<p>Hmm, I wonder how they calculated these figures?</p>
<p>I also think it's interesting that Columbia scored 2.5 while Barnard (all-girls) scored 3.33. A have a friend who goes to Barnard, and she tells me that the two schools are practically the same in that they constantly intermix.</p>
<p>And WestCoast101, I think the comparisons being made in this thread are CC top colleges with other CC top colleges...</p>
<p>Westcoast-- Jimmy is right, I only listed those schools that are contained in the CC "Top" lists: Ivies, Top Universities, & Top LACs, so USC etc are not on those lists. All I can say about UCLA is that College Pr'ler rates Guys & Girls high enough to give them an A overall, but just barely. If I had calc'd USC, they'd be a solid A @ 3.83 (Guys A-, Girls A)....see for yourself: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visits/college_rank_summary.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visits/college_rank_summary.html</a></p>
<p>Jimmy.....I don't know how College Pr'ler scored Guys & Girls..whether it was some kind of student voting system like Prn'ton Review or whether it was a determination made by the student authors of each school's review. Here's an example calc for University of Chicago:</p>
<p>(Guys "C-" + Girls "B-") / 2 = (1.67 + 2.67)/2 = 2.17</p>
<p>There were a lot of hot guys at Pomona when I toured there.</p>
