Favorite feature in a guy?

Eyes because eyes tell all.

Who is your role model and why?

My role model is my older brother, Brock because he has accomplished already so much in his life for only being 27 years old. He is also my role model because he has taught me so much about life. He has taught me to be strong independent woman and be confident in myself. My brother is always there for me and I can turn to him for anything, I only hope for my children to have a bond like I do with my brother.

What are your career aspirations?

Get to know: Miss September

Name: Bri
Hometown: Vancouver, WA
Class: Senior
Major: Psychology

Favorite feature in a guy?

Eyes, I’m a sucker for a pair of peepers. You can tell a lot about someone through their ‘window of the soul.’ For instance, the way your brow lifts accentuates your intrigue on a certain subject — and I don’t mind being that subject.

Who is your role model and why?

Gina Carano, the MMA fighter who served as one of our newest American Gladiators. On the show her name was Crush; and with a long winning streak in the Octagon she asserted herself against some of the nations most athletic competitors. Not to mention, she’s a total knock out!

Get to know: Miss August

Name: Alyssa

Hometown: Louisville, KY (1,749 miles from campus)

Class: Sophomore

Major: Music

What’s your favorite feature in a guy? Eyes, hair, and smile. Nice teeth is my favorite feature on a guy by far. You can tell a lot about a guy by their teeth. (i.e. how well they take care of themselves, etc.)

Well you’ve got quite perfect teeth yourself… what’s your secret? Hahaha my teeth aren’t perfect, but I do take care of them. I brush them on average three times a day, if not more. I also whiten them because I don’t like yellow teeth and I floss frequently. I had braces for a while, and as nerdy as it sounds, I still wear my retainers because I don’t want my teeth to ever go crooked.

Move-in weekend

Scene: Outside of AZ-SO. Incoming freshman and his parents, walking around, enjoying the school.

“Hey, are you a freshman?” I asked.

“Yes,” he said.

“Welcome to college,” as I handed him a calendar. His dad wanted one, too.

They’re not alone. It’s been an incredible past two days all over, with our distribution spots running through calendars like we run through water here in the desert. We can’t get them out fast enough. Heck, we’ve had an entire sorority want copies to support their sisters in the calendar. It’s truly a proud time and we can’t thank everyone enough for making this possible.

If you want to ensure that you’ll grab a copy, do it straight online and we’ll ship it to your door with a personalized thank-you email. (Maybe even signed, who knows?).

Just waiting for the shipping trucks

It’s finally here.

After nearly 10 months of brainstorming, planning and executing, the Hottest College In America 2010-2011 calendar is set to debut August 15th.

Circulation: 13,000 will be strategically distributed throughout campus and surrounding areas as students arrive back to campus that weekend. Businesses, restaurants and housing complexes serving as staggered drop-off spots will be listed in detail online at hottestcollegeinamerica.com. For those partners who will be distributors, we will be in touch with you next week to arrange our quantities.

Online: The calendar launches alongside a revamped and dynamic hottestcollegeinamerica.com, which will not only include additional photos from the shoot, but also realtime aggregated content from our partners. This will launch early next week.

Apparel: And finally, this fall launches our first line of clothing, which can be found on our website after it too launches next week.

Feedback has been incredible and the printed proofs exceeded our expectations far and beyond! With your support, this little idea has become part of the student culture on campus.

The trucks are rolling in.
