Ah, college. It’s a time for learning, job searching, and—if you’re like the average college dude—practicing your game.
And thanks to the new Campus Trends study from dating app Clover, the shallow dudes among us can toss those copies of the Princeton Review and finally rank schools by a different criterion: the likeliness of hooking up.
Here’s how Clover works: Billed as “the fastest way to meet new people on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch,” Clover strives to be a personality-based dating service (think Match.com) and first-date arranger. Users can choose whether they want to make new friends, find a hookup, or even lock in a long-term relationship. (It’s free to download, but the Premium Service costs about $10-$20, depending on the duration of your subscription.)

We asked Clover CEO Isaac Raichyk to shed some light on the company’s survey by explaining the inner workings of the digital-age matchmaker. Here’s what they found—from hotbeds of kinky action to the campuses teeming with, well, straight-up hot people.

Hookups or Love?
It’s the eternal question facing college kids (you know, aside from which cheap beer to buy and which classes are easiest).
“The Hookup and Love category [is] based on what users choose as their intention,” says Raichyk. Clover users can define whether they’re looking for a one-night stand or The One To Stand By Forever—and these campuses have the highest concentrations at the end of the spectrum.

Kinky or Reserved?
College is about exploration, right? So why limit that exploration to the classroom when you can expand your horizons from, say, your off-campus apartment? (We’re not here to judge.)
“The Kinky and Reserved categories are based on answers users provided to users’ ‘20 Questions,’” Raichyk says, referring to the simple questions users answer when they download the app. Oh, and you can forget any stereotypes you might have about certain states—looking at you, Texas State and Texas Tech.

Liked or Disliked?
Sure, romantic compatibility is great. And yeah, it’s probably a good thing to have similar relationship goals. But at the end of the day, some people get a thumbs-up and the other ones go home.
“The Most Liked and Most Disliked are based on the total likes and dislikes users receive from other users,” Raichyk says. “Users are presented with potential matches nearby and can dislike and/or like other users.”

So with Clover, the like/dislike spectrum is a good measure of how desirable people are—weighted by how choosy everyone thinks they can be. So either Arizona State is absurdly hot (likely), pretty easygoing (possible), or both.
