<p>Yah unalove, in my class at Chicago, there were maybe 4-5 flat-out beautiful guys in the class, and 4-5 flat out undeniably hot girls. They were the kids all over their high school yearbooks, and one was actually a model for maxim. So in total we had about 10 flat-out photogenic people out of a class of 900. They were often lost amidst a sea of pimply faced, pasty, unkempt nerdy types. </p>
<p>10 out of 900. That’s not a good ratio. </p>
<p>I’m guessing that Chicago students put themselves together better now, but I still think we have much more of the pasty, pimply variety than the future pinup poster girls at our school. Moreover, I found the schools with more athletic student bodies have more generically good looking people. Chicago kids study a lot and are not particularly athletic, so this isn’t a good combination for creating a good looking campus. </p>
<p>As a quick contrast - while the other school I know well, Penn, wasn’t amazing by any measure - it was definitely NOTICEABLY more generically good looking than Chicago. You just had more jocks walking around, more sorority girls who killed themselves at the gym every day to stay in shape, more tall handsome male rowers, more wharton kids who were committed to staying in shape, etc.</p>
<p>I’ve also met a bunch of kids from Williams and Princeton, and honestly, they could come right out of a J. Crew catalog.</p>
<p>Again, if you’re into generic hotness, Chicago is NOT the way to go. At least my year, you have a 10 in a 1000 chance of finding someone who fits the bill. Maybe now you have a 30 in 1300 chance. I guarantee you the ratio is better at Princeton or Dartmouth or even Penn.</p>
