<p>That is going to a college that has above a 50% acceptance rate?</p>
<p>You meet this cute guy/ girl and you find out there going to a not-so-great college,
would you still be interested in dating them?</p>
<p>Curious as to what you guys have to say haha.</p>
<p>… no, sorry. 
well, PROBABLY not. I mean, it depends on whether he had the ability to go to a better college, but chose not to.</p>
<p>lol… mulberrypie likes bad boys who are really smart but don’t live up to their potential. 
haha</p>
<p>and only if he were really attractive. lol. and no, i’m talking about the ones who were like pretty smart in HS but didn’t want to go to a good school. My best friend is like that.</p>
<p>Of course I would. It would be wildly pretentious to screen out potential girlfriends/boyfriends by the selectivity of their college—I care more about personality/thoughtfulness (I hesitate to say intelligence) than educational background.</p>
<p>ohhh ha. Yeah, my friend who I definitely think should go to Stanford is considering going to San Diego University just because he thinks it will be less stressful and a more enjoyable experience. He said he’s tired of working so hard through APs and wants a break before medical school haha.</p>
<p>If they are mature enough, why not?
Personally I just want to be with someone who will make me happy, so I lean towards the funny guy =) But, they have to be mature as well, so I usually don’t date HS boys, I’ve only dated one. He was really smart, funny, hot (some say he was the hottest guy in our school) but he started to act really immature, so I dumped him. I can’t really stand people like that. Plus he smoked weed all the time, and I tried to get him to stop, but couldn’t.</p>
<p>It sucks though for seniors. All the smart guys are going to college and will be gone by the end of the summer. All the other 18/19 year olds are at the only community college in the area… which sucks.</p>
<p>(all the smart guys are gone assuming you date older… I usually like to date older guys)</p>
<p>I usaully date older guys too, but right now I’m single. I need to focus on getting accepted into McGill, then if I get in THEN I’ll look around. Montreal has some pretty good-looking boys there ;)</p>
<p>Why don’t you wait untill you go to college?</p>
<p>Sigh. I probably will wait. Unless I can meet some guys up in Orange County (my dad lives there)</p>
<p>The area I live (Palm Springs) doesn’t have a ton of good, smart looking guys.
Orange County has a broader spectrum.</p>
<p>ofcourse i would. going to a specific college does not signify whether you’re smart or not. i know some really smart guys that end up in community colleges just b/c they can’t afford it or don’t wish to go too far. basically, if the guy’s mature and cute lol why not?</p>
<p>Well DUH of course I’d date him. If he’s freaking hot who gives a damn? Actually super smart guys are pretty intimidating. I’ve liked this guy who attends Princeton for a very long time but never had the courage to talk to him because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to measure up to him in terms of intelligence.</p>
<p>^ lol i could so relate to that. seriously, super hot guys also tend to be more social and easy to talk too.</p>
<p>Yeah, I would. You can be a bright person and still not go to an amazing college.
The college somebody goes to is a ridiculous way to measure somebody’s intelliegence.
Besides, ever heard of opposites attact?</p>
<p>this could possibly be the most ridiculous question i’ve ever read on CC. YES, I would. I dont get it, why would it matter?</p>
<p>lol this question is hilarious</p>
<p>i don’t date any guy who doesn’t go to harvard, duHH!!!</p>
<p>^^^ oh my god. I once had a crush on this nerd. He wasn’t hot or anything, but he was the coolest person ever. He was smart, LOVED Oasis (my favourite band), loved Star Wars (my favourite movies), played guitar and was the funniest guy ever. Except he never talked to “popular” kids, so I could never get him to talk to me =( HE WAS MATURE TOO!</p>
<p>Well usually all the hot girls are at the less prestigious colleges and throwed less than attractive girls are more than plentiful at the more prestigious colleges so…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A lot of smart people don’t go to highly selective colleges, so I don’t think that fact would be relevant.</p>
<p>Of course if they go to a place like that, they’re probably a fair distance from me, and I wouldn’t necessarily like that.</p>
<p>NC State has a 59% acceptance rate. I’m considering going to NC State, so yes.</p>
<p>And besides, that shouldn’t matter anyway.</p>
