Beauty, an elusive and subjective concept, often transcends the limitations of language. When the remarkable women gracing college campuses inspire admiration and perhaps even a touch of romantic longing, it's natural to wonder if their exceptional qualities can be measured and ranked. College Magazine has undertaken this endeavor, meticulously crafting a list of the top 10 colleges with extraordinary women, considering not only aesthetic appeal but also intelligence, athleticism, campus involvement, and philanthropic contributions. This list showcases the best and brightest college women from across the nation.

1. Florida State University

Florida State University (FSU) cultivates a community of women who aspire to make a tangible difference in the world. The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) empowers capable first- and second-year students to collaborate directly with faculty on research projects, nurturing their development into forward-thinking individuals. The program encompasses a diverse range of majors, with research topics spanning from a 2015 study on alterations in Germ Cell DNA due to nicotine exposure in mice to a 2017 project exploring modern representations of Nazi Germany through digital media.

Laura Greene, an internationally renowned thought leader in condensed matter physics, serves as the chief scientist of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, setting a high standard for the intellectual prowess of women across the campus. FSU has a legacy of athletic excellence, having sent over 30 female athletes to the Olympics since 1932 and maintaining representation at every Summer Olympics since 1972, including 10 athletes in 2016 alone.

"Each woman I’ve met has been amazingly accomplished, from serving in Student Government, holding an e-board position in an RSO, doing groundbreaking research, or participating in one of FSU’s philanthropies, sometimes all of these things," said FSU sophomore Meghan Ledger. FSU women demonstrate a commitment to community service and campus involvement through extracurricular organizations. Hands for Hope focuses on fundraising and education related to the disabled community. FSU's theater program, consistently ranked among the best, boasts a highly selective admissions process. "Only the top 250 people in the prescreening process even get an audition slot. Out of those, we accept only about 14 a year," said FSU graduate Logan Mortier. "Oh yeah, and they’re all SO GORGEOUS."

2. University of Southern California

The University of Southern California (USC), nestled in the palm tree paradise of Los Angeles, is a hub for intelligent and accomplished women. The statistics for the 2018-2019 freshman class are impressive, with a median ACT score of 33, SAT score of 1460, unweighted GPA of 3.9, and 265 National Merit Scholars. USC's campus is home to renowned sororities with academically driven and involved students. Over 1000 Greek women participate in organizations such as Jumpstart and the TRIO Program. Jumpstart provides high-quality language and literacy education to preschool students in low-income communities, while the TRIO program offers USC students the opportunity to mentor high schoolers preparing for standardized tests.

Among these women, 297 hold Trustee and Presidential scholarships, and 223 participate in undergraduate research. The women at USC are not only well-rounded individuals but also possess striking beauty. "I love USC because there is a variety of people who attend. Every one is an over achiever but they can also be a great support system," said one USC student. Another student noted, "People are generally attractive and willing to help others. Some students can be a little stand-offish. Most student dress in a Southern California style in shorts and flip flops, but girls are generally pretty stylish and guys tend to be preppy."

3. University of Texas, Austin

The University of Texas (UT) in Austin embodies the Texan spirit of independence, which translates into an alluring ambition in its women. This attractive spirit manifests in the vast population of women, a benefit of being a Longhorn. The sorority women at UT demonstrate a multitude of philanthropic, academic, and athletic accomplishments, ranging from logging thousands of collective service hours each year while maintaining a GPA average of 3.49 to participating in Student Government, UT Women’s Volleyball, UT Women’s Soccer & Track, Texas Dance, Student Volunteer Board, Texas Union, and 40 Acres Fest, a day-long music festival free for all UT students, faculty, and staff. Southern Charm thrives in Austin, imbuing the women of UT with unspeakable exquisiteness.

4. University of California, Santa Barbara

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), located in the Golden State, is known for its sun-kissed women with flowing hair. The campus boasts top-tier women amidst high competition. These women possess athletic talents; the women’s tennis squad achieved a 4-0 victory over Cal Poly on April 20, 2019. The Greek women at UCSB demonstrate a commitment to excellence and awareness, completing four educational programs each academic year, including CARE’s Sexual Violence Prevention workshop, and a minimum of six hours of community service per quarter. These women know how to create thrilling experiences and are knowledgeable about social issues. "Guys and girls at UCSB have a reputation for being super attractive and smart," said one student. "There are all kinds of people at UCSB but people tend to dress relaxed and beachy during the day, and casual sexy at night. The culture and location here reflects the way people dress and present themselves."

5. University of Maryland

The University of Maryland (UMD) on the eastern seaboard is a treasure trove of fabulous women. These are classy girls who care about their community and the world. The University of Maryland's Panhellenic Association helped fund a project in Malawi to build a school, providing children in the impoverished area of Ntondoko with access to education. The University of Maryland provides its students with a Community Service Opportunities Database, Services 24/7, which offers information about service in the community surrounding campus. The women at UMD are benevolent, compassionate, and profoundly beautiful.

6. Pennsylvania State University

Pennsylvania State University (PSU) is located in Happy Valley, a college town where it's hard to stay sad when surrounded by caring, intelligent, and breathtakingly beautiful women. The women at PSU possess athletic gifts. For example, Teniya Page, a senior guard on the women’s basketball team, earned the WBCA Coaches’ All-America honorable mention. Athletics at Penn State have been led by Sandy Barbour since 2014. The women at Penn State demonstrate kindness and motivation through participation in philanthropy and career-building events such as resumé workshops, Straight Talks, self-defense seminars, and Women’s Empowerment Week. Women’s Empowerment Week, created by and for women, promotes the identities and interests of all women across campus. Classic Panhellenic philanthropies, including Dance Marathon, are standard practice for the women at Penn State.

7. University of Virginia

The University of Virginia (UVA) is home to women who follow their own rules and excel. UVA has more to offer when it comes to basketball than testosterone; the UVA women were Atlantic Coast Conference tournament champions in 1990, 1992, and 1993, and regular-season champions 11 times between 1984 and 2000. They played in the NCAA Final Four tournament in 1990, ’91, and ’92. "We aren’t just athletic though. At Virginia, the women I have met have all possessed incredible brains. Did you know Katie Couric went here?" said UVA sophomore Samantha Carlson. Katie Couric hosted the Today Show from 1991 to 2006, becoming one of the most famous and respected journalists of our time. The women currently at UVA boast a 4.27 average GPA for the 2018-2019 incoming class. The University of Virginia is home to well-rounded, multi-talented, and beautiful women. "Everyone here is so friendly and energetic," said one UVA student. "People are involved in a million things, while still managing to find time to ace class and party. The 'work hard play hard' mentality is definitely prevalent…UVA has a lot of very, very attractive people…Most people are down to earth and friendly."

8. Brigham Young University

Brigham Young University (BYU) is the most closely guarded secret in the United States. When looking for generosity and an open mind in a partner, BYU is the place to be. “The majority of BYU women are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,” said BYU freshman and former LDS missionary Jared Marcucci. The Mormon church conducts undeniably important humanitarian work across the globe. The women on campus at BYU strive to aid the goals of their university, participating in over 77 programs promoting service on campus, in the community, and across the world. These programs range from Share Your Hair and Community Clean-Up to Kids Who Code. Share Your Hair provides free haircuts and styling for BYU female students who donate their hair to organizations that make wigs for women and children with hair loss. Kids Who Code allows BYU students to guide kids (primarily from minority groups) through the fundamentals of coding. “We have a good culture of marrying other members of the church, so we have a smaller gene pool-a gene pool filled with beauty,” said Marcucci.

9. New York University

New York University (NYU) is the home of Blair Waldorf, the fashion-forward babe of them all. Though Waldorf exists only in fiction, the powerful women composing the majority of NYU’s student population live in the same reality as we do. NYU students almost exclusively come from the top 10 percent of their graduating high school classes, boasting 1440 median SATs and 32 median ACTs. Ninety-six percent of NYU graduates find employment or enroll in graduate school within six months of commencement. The school has a female/male ratio of 58/42, demonstrating that these ladies will break your heart and steal your job. In 1958, Justice Birdie Amsterdam became the first woman to be named “Man of the Year” by the Law Alumni Association, demonstrating the essence of strong womanhood. NYU also hosts an incredible arts program. “I’m so excited to be a part of a community of such beautiful women. If you think about it, all of us at NYU make up the red carpets of the future. Movie premiers, Broadway, the Met Gala. Watch out,” said NYU freshman Stephany Levi, who studies Musical Theater.

10. University of Miami

The University of Miami (UM) in Miami, Florida, boasts an unparalleled wealth of culture and experience. Diverse students flock to UM, including some of the most interesting women around the world, full of passion and excitement. The women at Miami also display extreme athletic ability; the school has racked up five national championships in women’s golf (1970, 1972, 1977, 1978, 1984) in addition to two in women’s swimming (1975, 1976). Sororities, as well as other women, organize service groups for nonprofits Habitat for Humanity, which focuses on humanitarian aid, and Amnesty International, which focuses on human rights. "Students at Miami are known for being attractive," said one student. "There is a lot of types of guys and girls. Miami attracts people from around the world so you see city boys, country boys, preppy boys, etc. Same goes for the girls. There is someone for everyone at Miami."
