StudentUniverse, a website that “empowers students and youth to travel” by offering them “exclusive discounts,” recently released a new travel blog running down the “sexiest colleges in the nation.”

“We can all agree that someone’s sex appeal goes beyond a flat 1-10 rating,” explained StudentUniverse’s Danielle Millerick. “There are a number of factors that determine an individual’s level of ‘sexiness,’ for example: intelligence, charm, manners and lifestyle, and we’ve taken these and more into consideration in determining the sexiest colleges in America.”

The University of Miami’s “beach lifestyle and diverse student body” propelled it to the top of this year’s list, followed by the University of Southern California’s “sun-kissed skin and posh lifestyle,” but the University of Alabama’s southern charm made a strong showing at No. 3.

From StudentUniverse:

Location: Tuscaloosa, AL
Sexy factors: Southern charm
Likely to: Sweep you off your feet

How could we not mix in a dash of southern charm when discussing the sexiest school in the country? We all know southern belles and gents have something truly unique and charming to bring to the table, but if you need proof, UA guys and girls received an “A+” rating on Niche, a center for student reviews and insight on college campuses. Accompanying the rating are student-written comments stating that you “won’t find a more friendly group of people anywhere, that UA is a place of “southern charm and great morals,” and that “all of the students are very outgoing and inclusive. If you want to be social it is very easy to do so.”

It can be argued that politeness and an overall set of good manners are very attractive traits in both guys and girls, and there is an abundance of both on this campus. Both southern belles and gents exude social gracefulness, which is guaranteed to make you swoon. This is why the University of Alabama has landed the number three spot on our list.

New York University and Harvard University rounded out top 5. To check out the details, head over to StudentUniverse.
