Is the University of Chicago home to hot chicks?

<p>Lets assume the original poster is adhering to a generic definition of hotness. Instead of reading into it too much, lets just assume that we’re going on the general construction of the term (read: just look at a maxim to figure out what the generic definition of hotness is).</p>

<p>Then, to answer the OP’s question: NO. There is NOT a “reasonable” (compared to other schools) amount of hot chicks at the U of C. First and foremost, the U of C is a nerdy place that attracts a higher concentration of nerds than many of its peer schools. (The ivies, for example, still need to field squash teams and rowing teams and are generally more jock-ish, and the jock culture lends itself to more people who are generically hot). Generally, the U of C is not a very typically good looking place at all. </p>

<p>To read more about this, read this interview: </p>

<p>[Uncommon</a> Interview: TuckerMax - The Chicago Maroon](<a href=“Quartet-in-residence again awes the Mandel faithful – Chicago Maroon”>Quartet-in-residence again awes the Mandel faithful – Chicago Maroon)</p>

<p>Chicago is more well-adjusted today, but Max’s sentiments still have some substance to them. Chicago certainly isn’t Dartmouth or Williams or Princeton.</p>

<p>Also - this goes for both guys and girls. The guys aren’t particularly good looking in the classic mold (read: tall, athletic, etc.). The U of C is still a very nerdy place, and generally, nerds don’t fit the classic mold of attractiveness as much as, say, jocks do. </p>

<p>Then just go to the photo gallery and look at pictures from summer breeze or other university-wide events and parties. You’ll see large crowds of U of C students in the pictures and, well, they still remind me a lot of when I was at Chicago - the U of C is a pretty nerdy place. (But the nerds have pride :-). </p>

<p>I’d imagine if you look at pictures from Princeton’s Ivy eating club or something like that, the photos would be pretty different.</p>
