Hear me out. Mormons are obsessed with female beauty. Obsessed. Many (not all!) of the girls attending BYU have finding a husband as their top goal for their undergrad years. It’s insane how groomed and fit most (not all!) of the girls are on campus. Salt Lake City has the highest per-capita plastic surgeons. I have to say that the male students are nowhere near as put together.


This is all so true.

- BYU grad who was *not* one of the fit and groomed ones.


Plastuc surgery barbie dolls are not "attractive". And if their purpose is to find a mate to start producing youngins....plastic surgery won't be passed down. Sorry.


Ha I actually don't know anybody who got plastic surgery as an undergrad or even before they got married, though I'm sure some do. All the plastic surgeons in Utah just show that Mormons place a very high value on the appearance of women, not that BYU undergrads are really into plastic surgery.

I recall that when it came to attractiveness, men were into a fit body and being generally put together, rather than things about their appearance that could be changed with plastic surgery. I don't know any (white) Mormon guys who would have thought "big boobs and giant lips?? Be still my heart!"

BYU students, at least the men and the female athletes, are much older than the typical college student due to their missions.

This is PP - posted without reading the entire thread. Apparently others agree with me as BYU is mentioned several other times.

A HS classmate of mine applied to and went to a school in a beach town "for all the hot girls." He is doing well. Passed up MIT and CalTech .

Apparently, yes: https://www.businessinsider.com/okcupids-colleges-with-most-attractive-students-2015-10


OK Cupid’s stupid study is based on profile likes, which aren’t based only on profile pic, material factors weigh high there.


The study looks only at USNWR’s Top 20.

Easy. A school in Miami or one of the UC schools.

Look for lower-ranked schools, as they are more likely to have good looking kids. Hard to find a combo of both brains and beauty. So if beauty is the top priority, be prepared for some dullards.

With filters, airbrushed pics, make up techniques and cosmetic procedures, it’s hard to tell who is pretty and who isn’t.

I hope kiddo grows up and deepens down beyond superficial vanity. That being said, super selective or STEM heavy schools have lower odds, as does community and state schools. I reckon USC, NYU, Northwestern, Tufts and Georgetown are more likely to have a higher percentage of wealthy and good looking students.
