What's the dating scene like?

Alexandra

There are many eligible bachelors and bachelorettes at CU. A majority of the student body is very fit and very attractive. The best places to meet your fellow students are in classes, at the gym, and on weekends at parties. For the most part, relationships do not last very long as there tends to be a pervasive "many fish in the sea" feeling. I have been in a successful relationship for a year now and against all odds, met my boyfriend at a fraternity party. For the most part, students at CU are just looking to hook up, and if that's what you are into, you could probably accomplish it on a daily basis. If you are looking for more, you may have to search harder, but there are definitely worthy candidates out there!

Some people have significant others (monogamous relationships), while others casually date people (go on dates with many or one person but do not commit to a serious relationship). Many people I know who are in monogamous relationships usually have a well-established relationship before going to college. As part of being at a learning institution, college students, like me, also learn more about ourselves in relationships by trying new things and giving people a chance (considering people we would not have considered in high school).
