I go to what I would consider to be a fairly competitive high school, and everyone is loading up on APs so that they can get rid of general education requirements in college. I'm a lazy senior, so I'm looking for reasons to avoid taking more AP tests (especially humanities ones)... There's one line of reasoning that I'm stuck on so far.

Most people take AP classes to get rid of general education requirements at schools (such as introductory humanities/english/writing classes, etc...) right? I'm probably going to major in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering/Computer science wherever I end up going, so if I'm not taking any/a few general education classes, then HOW THE FUCK DO I MEET GIRLS?

Are you dorming? If so, you'll meet girls, don't worry.

If you're not, it's a bit harder, but if you make an effort at it, it's not a big deal.

Classes aren't really that great for meeting girls that way anyway.

Most schools still have a fairly robust general education program, you won't be able to test out of everything. Meeting girls in college outside of class requires only basic social skills, especially if you live in the dorms. Just be proactive when it comes to making friends and socializing and you'll be fine.

You can't just walk up to someone and start a conversation?

By the way, I'm sure there won't be exactly zero attractive girls in your classes.

Also, join clubs.

All schools make events for the most stupid reasons. Go to those!
You should meet a ton of people in welcome week too! TONS!
If there are any workshops take the time to go attend too...
Girls in your major / upper div classes will be the ones you'll talk to the most anyway too, so don't worry so much about lower divs.

In the end, I totally agree with MoltkeWarding.

How do you expect not to meet girls?!

very few girls in the engineering field, make sure you get yourself into a coed dorm, the ones that separate you by floors are ok but id try real hard to get one like my freshman dorm that let us mingle on the same floor, you just shared a bathroom with another room of the same sex, was very nice. also you just gotta head out to events, school events or parties, football and bball games are good, break out of your shell, i went to a college in a completely different state with no one i knew to force myself to branch out and it worked, meeting the girls isnt hard, its keeping them around that is the challenge for college guys


edit: intramural co-ed sports teams are also a great place, most dorm floors create their own teams, or my school has a free agent meeting for people who dont have enough people to make a whole team and they just lump you together with other random people, great way to do it as well

Dude. You'll see girls. Plenty of them if you get lucky. Just increase that luck with co-ed dorms. You'll still meet them out of class and at parties. Just make sure to bring that vodka with ya.

I have haven't met anyone in class. The classroom atmosphere isn't like high school, you're not there for anywhere as much time and none of it is spent socializing. You don't sit in a circle on the first day and introduce yourself to your classmates like in hs. You'll meet people in the dorms mostly and in any activities you take part in. Besides engineering is like 80% dudes and it'll feel like more.

The better question is why in the fuck would you not take the humanities AP's? They don't require any studying; its one three hour pop and you get 3 credits (I assume you'll 5 them from you're previous blogs). I'm all for being lazy but those AP's fill the humanities requirements for whatever school you attend (yes even in engineering), if you don't take them now you'll have to take more humanities classes later -.-

Yeah I think my gen ed and teaching classes were 5x better than my math/science classes :p

You can meet people by going to 'things' other than class. For example, going to parties and events on the weekends.

Go to the Rutgers Graduate School of Education. A very good amount of the girls in any of our teaching subjects (including mathematics) are attractive

That being said, there are undoubtedly countless attractive girls in many other fields too, in any college.

You can find out about random social events and just walk up to people and start talking to them. (usually best to walk up to a person that's not currently engaged with a group, but going up to a whole group can work too)

Or you can sit down beside a girl that's alone in a class (ie no one sitting beside her) and introduce yourself and start talking to them.

If either of these are too difficult for you then too bad, you should be able to do them! I met tons of people this way and have never had a bad experience as a result. Most friends I tell this to have the hardest time and are so timid so I practically need to force them but they're always thankful.

Take a fucking chance right, what are you going to do sit in wendys and read people magazine until the end of TIME?! Sit alone and play with yourself for the next forty YEARS? Take a chance!

Good luck sir

major in Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering/Computer science


I am an EE (probably going to double major in ECE and EE), and what your classmates are doing is what I would recommend. AP classes get rid of really dumb classes you take in college, they are generally a waste of time. I would recommend doing chemistry, physics, calculus, some humanities classes, and english. They do however buffer your college GPA.

Getting ladies? Go talk to people.

The college student TA's I had in middle/high school were super hot. Of course these people age and teachers have had many years of education, making them the old hags we all know.

If you think your classes determine what gender of people (or "hotness") you can meet and talk to, you are already fucked. Sorry.

I thought this was a joke about a funny justification for not taking AP tests...
The college I chose didn't accept any humanities AP credits, but I ended up taking them anyways senior year because I had learned the material and I wanted to use it lol. Seriously, though, get all the credit you can from AP tests. It will free you up to take cooler classes.

there are tonssssssssss of ways to meet girls at college. All you need to do is be a baller and make it happen.

1) like everyone said, being in a co-ed dorm helps immensely
2) parties. dont go to a party and only hang out with your 4 dude friends. maybe go out with one or two guys, split off every now and then, meet a pretty lady, dance, drink, have fun.
3) All clubs except the starcraft club will probably have girls in it. =P
4) Even the classes that aren't gen-ed will have girls in it. Maybe less hot and stupid ones, but they are definatley there.
5) Sporting events. I dont know where you're going to college, but football games, basketball games, whatever games. If they are good at your school then there will be girls there.
6) The biggest one is probably through friends. Your friends girlfriend will have at least 4 hot friends. It's a proven fact. And at least 2 of them will be single. The more friendly and more social you become, the more people you meet, the more people know you, the more girls you meet, the more girls you get with.

Courage and Confidence will lead you to victory my friend.

Take the AP tests and be glad that you'll save hundreds of hours of your time by just passing them. It's so much harder not to meet girls in college than it is to meet them.

just be social. It's a lot easier to get to know people at a school. Wherever you are, you can just strike up a conversation and not be considered rude/weird. Also, a lot of schools have mandatory classes for freshman to get to know your peers (usually for dorms) where you go to a study classroom and just hangout play stupid games, but it's chill enough you can meet people, both girls and guys.

Don't go there to try to get laid. Everyone is scared and nervous from not knowing anyone. Just have the balls to say "hey whats up?" and you'll make friends quite easily. And the girls you're interested in will come.

It's not worth your time to take AP's to test out of things in college. If you want to take AP's to improve your appeal to colleges I guess go for it but don't do it so you don't have to take humanities classes ever again. Anyone who goes for a technical degree and only takes technical courses is doing themselves a huge disservice. I've got a bachelor's in physics, a masters in electrical engineering, am a practicing electrical engineer, and the best class I took in the four years of undergrad was a Jr. level English course. As for meeting girls, you don't really do much of that in class, there's plenty of time out of class for that, don't worry about it.

Get involved with the campus community by doing things that will expose you to individuals from all different university programs. When I was in university, I volunteered heavily with our Students' Union and was an active Ski Club member. I met hundreds of people and made some amazing friends. It's great to get involved with specific clubs, like if your school has an Engineering Students' Society or a Starcraft Club, but if you want to get out and meet people, volunteer and join clubs that will expose you to people from all different programs. Through volunteering, you'll meet people, get invited to social events and best of all, you'll just meet women naturally without having to seek them out or force it.

In my experience, all of the hot girls are psych majors. No idea why that is, but the concentration of women in that field is absolutely ridiculous, at least at my school.

But then, I go to a school that was rated #3 in the nation for attractiveness by playboy a few years ago, so perhaps i'm a little biased.

@op: Somebody mentioned friends girlfriends: thats good there. Basically you need to not sit in your room every weekend. Freshman year, go out and make some mistakes with alchohol; you'll do some embarressing things but at least you'll get it out of your system and you'll get to meet a lot of people. Don't go to parties expecting to get laid. Go to them expecting to have a fun time. And ESPECIALLY don't go to them expecting to meet girls. If you're a comp sci major I think you're probably starting out at the lower end of the party food chain (i could be wrong, depends on your school, but science/engineering people up here tend to have a hard time starting out), but if you are passionate about things and can make a joke now and then you'll always find somebody to talk to. Eventually, that somebody will be a girl, and eventually that girl will be pretty cute!

Make it happen, but don't pressure yourself.

When I was in college I got the impression that many math, biology, and chemistry classes had a respectable amount of hot chicks. I didn't see hot chicks in computer science classes, which unfortunately will be your specialty (I only took one CS class so still hope for you), but I feel that more and more women are going into the sciences and the fields relating to the classes I previously listed, and so the situation isn't as bad as, say, ten years ago. As bob dylan would say, the times, they are a' changing. or something. I don't actually listen to Dylan.

The concentration of hotchicks in sci/eng/math classes won't surpass that of the classes other TLers have listed, but I am willing to bet that even your technical classes will have babes that catch your eye.
