<p>I definitely like the idea of having single-person suites. Everything's guilt free - no sexiling of roommates!</p>
<p>"it is insolent and ignorant to look for the "pretty" one in the first place."</p>
<p>No, it is natural. Physical attraction does still exist, even if you're not comfortable admitting it ;) Besides, we were talking about how good looking the girls at Harvard are..</p>

<br>
<p>Why? I posted the pictures so people could look at the women. I don't believe there's anything wrong with appreciating women (or men) for their beauty. It's only a problem if that's the ONLY way that women are appreciated, and I'm happy to say that that's a non-issue at Harvard. Women there get tons of credit for their intellect and talents, and it doesn't take anything away from that to note that some of them are also really cute. I tend to think that singers and dancers are the best, but of course that's a question of taste. If you prefer sorority types, Harvard has those too:</p>
<p>Sorority types = lesbians ?</p>
<p>taffy, I'm calling you out.</p>
<p>First, MIT is 45+% female, as verified in this thread. And I have been to the MIT campus many times and met plenty of hot female (and male) students there. Obviously nobody should apply to MIT to meet the hottest women in the world, but if that's anyone's primary concern, that person should be applying to beauty school and staying away from academia.</p>
<p>Second, it's rude to insult people's looks like you did. Those girls are very pretty. They did not put their faces on display so that you could insult them from an internet forum. Think whatever you like, even politely say you think there are prettier faces out there, but don't insult them like that.</p>
<p>You act rude. You make catty quips. You spout negative stereotypes of girls with the intelligence and academic interest to attend elite schools. I don't know where you're attending, but I certainly don't consider your attitude and behavior becoming of a Harvard student, and no matter how hot you are, I wouldn't date you if you paid me.</p>
<p>And Hannah, I apologize for taking this route, but... 'tis a fool that treats knavery with tact. ;)</p>
<p>They're pretty if you say so. People have different standards for beauty, mine just happens to be higher than yours. And thanks, I wouldn't date you if you paid me either.</p>
<p>the girl in the middle in the red...wow.</p>
<p>the one on her left is better looking, but the middle one..wow hot bod:)</p>

<p>Sorority types = lesbians ?</p>

<p>Excuse me, is that supposed to be some kind of insult? Feel free to join those of us living in the 21st century.</p>
<p>How are rules regarding sexual misbehavior at Harvard and MIT?</p>
<p>Quite honestly, I thought sharing bed (just sleeping or more than sleeping)with opposite sex would result in some sort of punishment, but is this freely allowed (as stated in previous posts)? I do understand that we students are adults, but where is that line of freedom and misbehavior?</p>
<p>There are rules against rape. That's the extent of it. It's college, not summer camp. Harvard also has rules against having overnight guests for long periods of time, but that's more aimed at people who bother their roommates by having a friend live with them for weeks than at having someone over for sex.</p>

You understand that students are adults but wonder if sleeping with the other sex results in punishment? Unless we're considering uber-religious universities, the answer is a resounding no.</p>
<p>Of course, if there are frustrated roommates involved, then there's probably some sort of procedure (since having promiscuous roommates sucks). But there aren't rules against sex at secular universities - do you really think they could get away with patronizing their students to that extent?</p>
<p>I agree with randomperson. My friend was constantly being sexiled by her roommate, yet the proctors never cared. They do it themselves too.</p>
<p>Hanna, I wasn't targeting at your posting the pictures. I simply disagreed with the way that person described some of the girls as "pregant" and "ugly". <em>That</em> was insolent. I don't think you can ever call someone "ugly". There's not one single person in the world that I consider "ugly".</p>
<p>ace is black, I guess I phrased it wrong. Of course physical attraction precedes everything else. If it wasn't for that part, there'd be less interaction among strangers.</p>
<p>"There's not one single person in the world that I consider "ugly"."</p>
<p>I think you're lying. Besides, if you don't consider anybody ugly, then clearly you will be having difficulties truly appreciating beauty.</p>
<p>"Excuse me, is that supposed to be some kind of insult? Feel free to join those of us living in the 21st century."</p>
<p>You mean did I mean 'lesbian' as an insult? No. I'm just wondering what kind of people join sororities, hence the question mark at the end of my question. I believe the 21st century has been moving away from single-sex groups to more co-ed assortments..</p>
<p>I don't consider anyone ugly because I always try to find the good aspect of that person. And often, I succeed.</p>
<p>"I don't consider anyone ugly because I always try to find the good aspect of that person. And often, I succeed."</p>
<p>Ok so be honest about it - they are 'ugly' but with a good aspect. Ugly means unattractive in appearance, not in personality. You can be ugly and be a great person, or beautiful and a rubbish person.</p>
<p>I prefer euphemism.</p>
<p>How would you feel if someone called you "ugly"? </p>
<p>It's like saying "her testing is modest" instead of "her testing stinks".</p>
