University students are sexy and they know it, according to Maxim magazine.
Maxim named LSU the “sexiest college” in America in a list composed by the magazine’s staff.
Maxim, an international men’s magazine that’s known for its pictorials of scantily clad females, called LSU students “magna cum hotties.”
The list also highlighted Louisiana’s southern atmosphere,
saying the University’s football team is “king” and the state’s Cajun cuisine is abundant.
The Maxim staff found the most “titillating” people and things from across the country in an attempt to find what “our great land has to offer,” ranging from the sexiest bar to the sexiest street, according to the magazine’s website.
Although LSU is the sexiest college in the country, Baton Rouge fell short to Austin, Texas, in the battle for “sexiest town.”
Biological sciences junior Branden Lawson said he believes the University’s party atmosphere contributes to its sexy status.
“I think Louisiana is known for a sexual identity,” Lawson said.
But animal science sophomore Brittany Castete said she doesn’t sense a sexual atmosphere on campus.
“I don’t see LSU as being sexy,” Castete said.
Melanie Wilson, psychology junior, said the title puts LSU at the forefront of the SEC.
“I’m glad we won instead of Alabama, Georgia or another school,” Wilson said.
