Sexiness has been tragically ignored by most college ranking systems (we're looking at you, US News & World Report), but no longer. BuzzFeed plotted Forbes's academic rankings of colleges and universities against dating site DateMySchool's hotness index, which measures the attractiveness of students by how much interest their dating profiles get. Schools in the top right of the graph above scored high in both. Then BuzzFeed weighted both ranks equally and tallied them up to determine our top ten:
