The 50 Hottest Colleges In America

Welcome to our third annual post ranking the hottest colleges and universities in America. PopCrunch runs Hottest Student Bodies every year in the midst of March Madness, an appropriate time we think to be looking at the hottest colleges in the US. Our advice to high schoolers looking for college recommendations remains as always to head south and out west, but there are gems all over the country as you’ll see in our list (of course it’s probably also smart to consider college rankings based on education quality).
When you’re done checking out the 2010 list free free to check out 2008, and 2009 for lots more great pictures and to see how the list has evolved over the years. Now onto 2010, as always let us know in the comments what colleges we’ve forgotten or ranked too low.

50. Michigan State


Last Years Ranking: 46
Michigan State is only one of two schools to make the Sweet 16 every year since we’ve started this list, and they’ve also made all three editions of Hottest Student Bodies. Lots of cute girls in Lansing, if nothing else to do the sheer size of the school. Like most Big Ten schools the undergrad population is massive, ensuring you’ll be able to find your type, whatever it might be.

49. Oregon State


Last Years Ranking: 44
We’re perhaps a bit partial to girls of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon is a particular favorite. Lots of fit girls that love outdoor activity in Corvallis.

48. UNLV


Last Years Ranking: 33
UNLV takes a bit of a tumble this year as Las Vegas has become a slightly more depressing place with the economic collapse, but we still remain intrigued with what it must be like to go to school in Sin City. Going to school 1.5 miles from the strip would be just a little distracting.

47. West Virginia


Last Years Ranking: Not Ranked
“West by Gawd Virginia” makes it’s inaugural appearance on our list, and while we expect it to generate a little controversy we do think it’s deserved. The basketball team is looking awfully good this year and so there’s a little more buzz around the university in 2010, and we think it’s time we gave Morgantown a little recognition.

46. Maryland


Last Years Ranking: 50
Far enough south for the weather not to be completely horrid in the winter, Maryland is an underrated destination. Lots of hot girls in the Washington metro area, and you’re running into girls who couldn’t get into Georgetown here. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

45. Missouri


Last Years Ranking: 38
Relatively solid sports, and over 30k undergrads in total gives you lots of choices. On the short list of schools rumored to be possibilities for Big Ten expansion, a move which would probably raise Missouri’s national profile.

44. Washington State


Last Years Ranking: 49
Washington State is in a beautiful part of the country, attracting beautiful girls. Some of the best cheerleaders on the list knocks them up a few notches on this year’s list.

43. Colorado


Last Years Ranking: 41
If you’re not going to go to school on the beach mountains would be a good second choice. Everyone knows hot rich girls love to ski.

42. Florida International


Last Years Ranking: Not Ranked
Joining West Virginia as a newcomer, Florida International features lots of coeds that spend their time sunning on South Beach. A bigger school than you probably realize with over 30k undergrads it has long puzzled me why their sports teams aren’t a little more competitive. Seems like a no brainer recruiting sell to me.

41. Oregon


Last Years Ranking: 35
One of the best cities in America to live, lots of cute outdoorsy girls, and hotter than average cheerleaders have all helped to make Oregon a perennial favorite on our list.





40. San Diego State


Last Years Ranking: 40
It’s hard to think of many better places to go to school, the weather is as perfect as you can find and the women are beautiful.

39. Virginia Tech


Last Years Ranking: 32
Surprisingly hot female student body for a school known for engineering. But that just means lots of cute geeky girls for the taking, so if that’s your type definitely think about Blacksburg.

38. Iowa


The south and west coast have a reputation, but wholesome midwestern girls can be an awful lot of fun too.
Last Years Ranking: 48

37. North Carolina


Last Years Ranking: 42
A down year in basketball but at least they still have hotter girls than Duke.

36. Louisville


Last Years Ranking: 34
Kentucky overall might not be the best place in the world to live, but there are pockets that have a lot going for them, and Louisville is definitely one of those places.

35. Mississippi State


Last Years Ranking: 47
The hottest girls here go to Ole Miss, but there’s enough to go around to make Mississippi State a force as well. h

34. Kansas


Last Years Ranking: 39
Pretty rough way to exit the tournament, but Kansas still had a nice year in basketball. Kansas is kind of a rough place overall from what I hear when it comes to women, but Lawrence is not at all like like the rest of the state.

33. Washington


Last Years Ranking: 21
An idyllic place to go to school, with a stunningly beautiful campus (featuring the best view from a football stadium in the country). Mountains and water attract plenty of hot girls looking for a nice setting for school.

32. South Florida


Last Years Ranking: 31
You actually really can’t go wrong going to school anywhere in Florida. Just think about that if you’re considering Minnesota or somewhere equally goofy.

31. Clemson


Last Years Ranking: 36
Clemson gets points for great cheerleaders, plus the whole southern school thing featuring good weather and the standard lots of hot girls. There are obviously southern schools with hotter girls (or Clemson would be ranked higher) but Clemson still does quite well in that department.





30. Oklahoma


Last Years Ranking: 29
The girls here love their football which is always a plus, and you also won’t freeze to death in the winter. Just stay in Norman, the rest of the state doesn’t offer much.

29. North Carolina State


Last Years Ranking: 24
We still like State over it’s Chapel Hill counterparts. Girls are a little more willing to cut loose in Raleigh.

28. Indiana


Last Years Ranking: 30
Indiana has some surprisingly hot girls, and while you’ll find quite a few at Purdue as well, IU is really where they gravitate. We think Indiana is a little underrated so we’re bumping them up a couple of notches this year.

27. Utah


Last Years Ranking: 23
All the frigid Mormon girls go to BYU, making Utah a lot more palatable as a college experience. You still do get your fair share of Mormons of course, but that’s a catch-22, as they are awfully hot generally.

26. LSU


Last Years Ranking: 14
After going on a great football run for a few years LSU has cooled off just a bit. Still has all the things we like to look for in a school though, hot weather, interesting location, great girls.

25. Miami (FL)


Last Years Ranking: 11
The U takes a tumble partially due to the addition of Florida International splitting the Miami vote. Gorgeous place to go to school, and I doubt anyone would regret four years in paradise.

24. Penn State


Last Years Ranking: 20
Penn State is the number one party school in America, probably due in large part to Happy Valley being in the middle of nowhere with nothing else to do but get blackout drunk and have sex. There are worse ways to spend four years.

23. Texas


Last Years Ranking: 17
Austin is one of the cooler cities on our list to go to school, and Texas is either first or second on the list of biggest schools in the country, depending on the year offering tons and tons of variety.

22. USC


Last Years Ranking: 12
USC takes a little tumble. Their athletics are headed south as of late and some of the mystique is going with it. Still the best cheerleaders in America however, and southern California can’t be beat as a college location.

21. Miami (OH)


Last Years Ranking: 16
We maintain that Ohio’s Miami is one of the most underrated schools in the country when it comes to hot girls. But then again lots of rich, hot blonde girls isn’t a minus in our book.





20. Arkansas


Last Years Ranking: 18
The SEC is full of hotties, and while Arkansas is probably low school on the totem pole that’s still enough to make them one of our 20 hottest schools in America.

19. TCU


Last Years Ranking: 28
Texas is right up there with California and Texas when it comes to hot girls and hot schools, and TCU is right up there when it comes to Texas talent.

18. UCLA


Last Years Ranking: 25
Going to school with a bunch of aspiring actresses seems like a plus. LA in general is the land of the beautiful people, and here you’ve got those beautiful people when they are 18-22. Sounds good.

17. Wisconsin


Last Years Ranking: 26
Wisconsin breaks our biggest rule that cold weather schools are to be avoided by simple virtue that it’s student body is hard core when it comes to partying and making the most of it’s “education”. Wisconsin is quite underrated when it comes to women.

16. Central Florida


Last Years Ranking: 27
I think this year we’ve gotten just about every major Florida university, and this is Florida’s largest, and the third largest in the country. So it has everything we look for, perfect weather, massive student body, only really lacks in quality sports entertaiment, but I think the positives more than make up for that.

15. Baylor


Last Years Ranking: Not Ranked
Baylor makes for our highest debut in 2010. They are getting some extra national attention this year for a solid basketball season, and we have been negligent not including them in previous editions of the list.

14. Ohio State


Last Years Ranking: 22
Stands with Texas as either the biggest or second biggest school in the country, and you’re nearly guaranteed to have solid football and basketball teams to watch in your four years here. There are women of every variety with such a huge student body and spring on campus has to be seen to be believed.

13. South Carolina


Last Year Rankings: 13
More nice southern girls here, South Carolina offers a lot to the potential student. Lots of beautiful sweet southern girls and mild winters equals South Carolina holding steady at 13.

12. Alabama


Last Years Ranking: 6
We may have over ranked Alabama a bit in hindsight, but we still have them solidly in the top 15. Lots of hot girls wearing dresses to football games in the fall, something of which the rest of the country could probably stand to see a little more often.

11. UC Santa Barbara


Last Years Ranking: 15
Going to school in Santa Barbara seems like a no brainer. Model quality girls walking around and you live in one of the most beautiful places in America, how can you go wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

10. Kentucky


Last Years Rankings: 19
Kentucky is back to prominence with the return of an honest to god good basketball team. We’ve been seeing a lot more Ashley Judd lately, helping to at least partially explain UK’s bump in ranking.

9. Texas Tech


Last Years Ranking: 3
Texas Tech national prominence took a hit this year with Mike Leach’s weird dismissal, but we still love the ladies who go to school there. Texas Tech makes it’s second straight appearance in our top 10.

8. Arizona


Last Years Ranking: 8
Pretty much the only drawback to going to school in Arizona is the lack of a beach, but everything else is as perfect as can be. Insanely hot girls and hot weather year round, the perfect combo. If we were ranking states with each state’s schools added together Arizona would be right up there with California and Florida.

7. Auburn


Last Years Ranking: 7
Beautiful campus with a storied history, Auburn fall Saturdays are as nice as just about anywhere else in the country. The eyecandy is phenomenal.

6. Georgia


Last Years Ranking: 9
Athens is an all time great college town, and it’s women can be put up against anyone’s and come out looking good. People who go to college in the northeast really have no idea what they are missing when it comes to the ladies.

5. Tennessee


Last Years Ranking: 10
Tennessee makes its second straight appearance in the top 10. When you get high differences start to get smaller, and Tennessee is just your standard SEC school with great tradition and beautiful girls.

4. Ole Miss


Last Years Ranking: 1
A well deserved number 1 last year, Ole Miss Saturday at the Grove seriously have to be seen to be believed. Hotty Toddy.

3. Florida


Last Years Ranking: 2
Gator girls are legendary, and Florida is a perennial contender for the top slot on on our list.

2. Arizona State


Last Year Ranking: 4
Arizona State is another former number one, and for good reason. Girls are so hot here that a calendar showing them off is an annual best seller.

1. Florida State


Last Years Ranking: 5
Jenn Sterger finally gets her due as Florida State becomes the third school to be named PopCrunch’s hottest student body in the land. Scanning the crowd at Florida State football games is as fun an activity as you’ll find at any other school. Florida State has all the ingredients for an awesome college experience, and we have no qualms naming it our 2010 #1.
