These Colleges Have the Most and Least Dateable Alumni

There’s an abundant stream of college rankings based on anything from “smartest” students to “sexxxiest” students to the mythical students who are “both hot and smart.”

But if you thought these never-ending lists are enough to consult for an ideal dinner date — you might want to check out one more ranking before making that reservation. Paid matchmaking service The Dating Ring collected 7,500 date feedback reports from 1,600 people over an 18-month period to see which college alumni served as the most enjoyable dates. Datability scores were calculated based on the percent of people who said that they would opt for a second date and ranged from 17% (for Babson College) to 81% (for Colgate University).

The Best:

Colgate University

Lehigh University

University of Texas Austin

University of Southern California

McGill University

University of Delaware

San Francisco State University

Boston University

Northwestern University

Williams College

The Worst:

Babson College

University of Chicago

Rutgers University

University of Washington

Michigan State University

SUNY, Binghamton (Binghamton University)

University of California, Berkeley

University of Pennsylvania

Princeton University

University of California, Santa Barbara

Of course, there are caveats. While 316 different colleges were represented, the results weren’t representative of the whole country. A whopping 81% of those surveyed between March 2013 and September 2014 live in New York City while the other 19% live in San Francisco.
