Yes it would. I know some fraternities allow exchange students and others don’t, so that’s be an important criterion to include if FSU routinely does or doesn’t have exchange students.
@MYOS1634 . . . Additionally, additionally, I didn’t attend FSU. I would have loved to have had a semester or two at FSU, just to experience the south.
Edit: Let’s see if I can add a thing or two…
As long as he pays his dues, I’m sure they’d love to have an English bloke.
Do yiu like to ski? Want to learn to ski? Like to hike? Like 300 days of sunshine a year? Pick BOULDER!
Miami is not a typical American city. It will be a different experience and not as tight knit being in Miami.
UNC and Colorado are more earthy.
Tulane has students heavily from the NY area.
OP: Your top choice should be the College of Charleston–unless you have to have American football on campus.
Next in line depends upon whether you want to be in a major city or in a major college town. Texas, UNC, or UCLA.
P.S. If just looking for a superficial hookup, then limit your choices to ASU or UCLA, and not because the girls are going to flock to you, but because Los Angeles is a major city & anyone can find a partner.
The P.S. ^^ cut to the elephant in the room. I spent a lot of time in the U.K., & 2 things they are not short of are crappy weather & smart people. He’s not coming over here to experience rain or meet a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Top 5:
Texas
UNC
UCLA
Colorado (yes, it gets cold temperatures and snow, but it’s a dry cold, and it’s almost always sunny, so it really doesn’t feel that cold. Not like East Coast in the winter cold. I hate winter weather and still think Colorado would be a great choice because it’s such a fun school in an amazing setting)
FSU
Research the settings of each of these and choose based on city vs college town, importance of beach, and part of the country you want. If you’re leaning UCLA, make sure to read up on LA. I lived there for a bit and really like it, but a lot of people really don’t.
Without reading all 11 pages to see if someone has mentioned it, quite a few major California universities are on the quarter system including Stanford and UCLA (and all the other UCs except Berkeley and Merced).
While UCLA ticks most of your boxes, you will need to stay on your game academically or you’re fall behind very quickly with little chance to catch up. Out of 10 weeks of classes per quarter, expect to have your first set of midterms starting weeks 3 and 4, second set weeks 6-8, and all finals during week 11.
I’m not trying to talk you out of UCLA. Despite the academic rigor and fast moving quarter system, it has a reputation for having some of the happiest college students who work hard, but also appreciate taking a break and having fun, and you’ll never run out of things to do and see in and around LA and So Cal.
Wishing you a great year here, wherever you land!
“I’m not really too concerned about cities and locations as such, but the opportunity to be fully immersed in a US college surrounded by US students would be great, so a college town could be an option, or if not a specific college town, a university with an active campus rather than a uni where people mostly commute would be preferred.”
UCLA is not in a college town. Lots of students commute. It’s football stadium is 25 miles away from the campus. It does not tick off every one of your boxes. The student body is also heavily tilted towards Asians and somewhat Latinos, not that there is anything wrong with that. It’s just not a typical all American mix that you might be looking for.
“In my opinion you should narrow down to schools in Florida and California if the beach is important. UNC Chapel Hill and LSU also fit, although not at the beach.”
The beach is nice to look at in California. Try swimming in the water without a wet suit on in the winter months.
^Agree. UNC, LSU/Tulane, and Florida (state or UMiami) are better choices, I think.
Lol on this comment. Superficial hookups are to be found everywhere and nowhere did the OP say that’s what he wanted. He wants to meet American College girls [I know, I know, it’s “women”] . His comments are throwing everyone off because people don’t just say that anymore in our PC world. He wants to be in a youthful, fun, sunny attractive, environment for a year. Nothing wrong with that.
I’m with @Publisher on this one. College of Charleston. It’s in an historic American city, the capital of South Carolina. It has great academic variety and quality to offer, but not so intense that OP won’t have time to enjoy himself, which is clearly a high priority. It’s far easier to get to from England than the western US, but far enough south to have good beach weather. And yes, the school has beach culture. You can even take surfing for credit. https://today.cofc.edu/2015/12/12/surfing-for-college-credit/
@rjkofnovi . . .
Bold quote #1: Not true. UCLA used to be a commuter campus not anymore; it is highly residential. In a couple years, it’ll offer guaranteed four-year housing to freshmen; currently, it’s three. And there’s always a very nice selection of off-campus apartments, not rundown at all.
Bold quote #2: The great thing about UCLA is that it doesn’t matter what ethnicity a group of students is, they’re usually very attractive. So in that way, it is a very American experience edit: or mix as you stated. (Ironic you used the word “mix.”)
But I still think FSU is the way to go for the OP, because of the party aspect.
@suzyq7 . . . Isn’t Miami in the “bad” part of town?
I’ve seen others state this, but I don’t know where they get this idea. 96% of freshman live on campus. When students move off campus, the overwhelming majority move into student apartments and university owned off-campus housing directly adjacent to campus, most of which is only a couple/few blocks further than the dorms would be.
Wow.
So in that light, probably all of California is out along with Florida, New Orleans and several other areas mentioned. What’s left? Maybe certain homogeneous bubbles in the Midwest and South.
West coast: UCLA, UC San Diego, Arizona State, U Washington (if Seattle), UTexas (if Austin)
East coast: University of Georgia, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
You didn’t list UC Santa Barbara but if it is an option I think it would be everything you want.
Hey, I went to UAF. Other than hot girls, nice weather, and a place that offers a typical American experience, it meets all your requirements.
It is a unique place, though. I loved it.
I’m thinking Arizona State or UCLA are what you’re looking for.
The weather in Seattle is not that great in the winter. An endless, cold drizzle.
Note to OP: in the US, many people think that “bad weather” is snow six months a year so “nice weather” is “not-snow”. Hence the suggestions including the upper half if California, Oregon, Washington.
But in the UK " bad weather"means “rain” and “good weather” means “sun”. So like, rainy Washington would not work.
Colorado is cold but sunny and Boulder woud have parties and skiing rather than beaches. So if you don’t want sunny and warm, university of Colorado Boulder would be nice.
College of Charleston has an imbalanced m/f ratio, meaning that nice guys are a hot commodity.
Tulane, FSU, UMiami would all be nice too 
I can understand looking for a college based on weather, but “hotness of girls” is just demeaning to women.
There isn’t a University of Tinder in the US.
Assuming that this post is real (and the jury is still out), @matt738 needs to answer a critical question - How hot are you? Because there are many many less-than-flattering superficial stereotypes about British men, and if you tick many/any of those boxes, your chances of hanging with “hot girls” on some of these campuses approaches zero.
