<p>In highschool, I liked relationships a lot more. I wasn’t much of a partier, but I mostly went for relationships within my social circle - and that worked for me.
But, people tell me that college is much more about random hookups. I have nothing against that - and in fact I might actually prefer it - but do you find that this means that the people that don’t party are left out in the dust? Say, 30% of a college parties a lot - does this mean that the other 70% don’t get any?</p>
<p>in before a poster saying ‘you’ll find your niche/you’ll find a relationship if you’re looking for one’</p>
<p>One more questions, heh. Does how ‘liberal’ a university have affect how commonplace interracial relationships/hookups are? I’m looking at Brown (known for super-liberalism). International Asian male. I don’t want to be restricted to Asian girls only, especially since Brown is only around 15% Asian. I’m awesome, by the way.</p>
<p>It depends on who you are and what you’re looking for. Though there are many more opportunities for random hookups in college than in high school, if you don’t want them, you won’t get them.</p>
<p>Interracial relationships/hookups: extremely common at Brown. Most people here really just don’t see race as a big issue, and you won’t hear about people only dating within a specific race.</p>
<p>There are plenty of activities that “mingle” other than parties at Brown. (from serious ones to not “serious” ones, political groups, volunteering, coed teams, clubs such as ballroom dancing (about 2 girls to every guy and high asian guy number), pirate acapella, etc. IE find something you are interested in, and get to meet people. I would say that girls at Brown are much more interested in how friendly, “nice”, etc you are, than what race, religion, status etc you happen to be.(“Hot” can go both ways in assessments, and will always be a factor for some in some way.) There seem to be plenty of long and short term “relationships”.</p>
