<p>So college decisions are starting to trickle in, I've realized the the social/dating scene at college is probably gonna play a role in my final choice, so do any current college students have some input about it?</p>
<p>Hooking up, from what I've heard, is a lot more common than full on relationships, but to what extent is this true? Also, is this scene fragmented or does everyone end up involved some way or the other?</p>
<p>Oh, and if you could say something regarding any of these colleges it would be really helpful :)</p>
<p>Stanford, UIUC, Michigan, Carnegie Mellon, Harvey Mudd, MIT, Columbia, Penn, NYU, Yale, Berkeley, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern, Cornell and Purdue.</p>
<p>Nah it’s pretty true. You’d have an easier time finding a needle in a haystack than finding a woman who wants a relationship in college.</p>
<p>I have heard Northwestern is pretty notorious when it comes to hooking up, but I don’t know about the others.</p>
<p>All I know is that Purdue is like 70% dudes so the dating scene is probably pretty competitive.</p>
<p>There is something for everyone everywhere, whether in college or out on your own.</p>
<p>Most colleges fall victim to the hookup culture/long-term relationship dichotomy (certainly Princeton does), with hookups much more prevalent and casual dating almost nonexistent. A lot of it just has to do with how busy people are: they condense their social scene, partying and hookups included, into drunken weekend nights and focus on schoolwork during the week.</p>
