College Swimsuit Calendars

While not every college or university publishes a swimsuit calendar, the ones that do can attest to the popularity of these hot items. For the guys who like to see a different beauty tacked on the wall for each month of the year, as well as the gorgeous coeds who don’t mind showing a little sexiness along with their brains, these calendars can be a campus-wide hit.

Different College Swimsuit Calendars

There are several universities that publish these popular calendars each year. For the most part, calendar organizers try to keep the images sexy in a wholesome way. After all, these girls are getting an education and talking about their majors and interests! The best way to find out if your school publishes a swimsuit calendar, whether you’re looking to buy or be featured in it, is to ask.

The Tempe 12

This calendar boasts the hottest girls from Pacific-10 and Big Ten schools. Originally founded on just one school, Arizona State University, the calendar has expanded (some would say exploded) to include girls from other colleges as well. Thousands of coeds apply and hope to be chosen for one of the best known swimsuit calendars around.

Ohio State University

The "Women of OSU" calendar strictly features OSU students. While the photo shoots are generally brief, the girls who pose for pictures enjoy an all-expense paid trip to a beautiful locale where they can relax, enjoy the weather and meet new friends.

Campus Girls of Iowa

The University of Iowa publishes a swimsuit calendar with its top pick of gorgeous girls. This calendar can be a great gift for a Hawkeye you know, including school alumni.

What Else You’ll Find

While the sports schedules may not even receive a first glance, football and basketball rosters are typically included on swimsuit calendars because these items cater to the male market.

Be a Swimsuit Model

What does it take to model for college swimsuit calendars? While attractiveness helps, a certain wholesomeness and a good attitude will go a long way. David Freedman, an Arizona State University alumnus and mastermind behind the Tempe-12 calendar, has stated that "stuck up" girls need not apply. A well-rounded individual and student has a much better chance with being chosen over the girl who can’t be bothered.

The right attitude; happy and fun!

The girl next door type would be the perfect candidate; she’s beautiful but still approachable. To be considered for a swimsuit calendar, you’ll have to contact the appropriate school with your information. Some universities that are seeking the next batch of sexy coeds include:

• North Carolina State
• Penn State University
• Rutgers University
• University of Delaware
• University of Maryland
• University of Pittsburgh
• Villanova University
• West Virginia University

Obviously, you should be a college student currently enrolled in the school you’d like to model for. Expect some stiff competition; for the well-known calendars, you might compete against thousands of other girls, especially if the calendar features coeds from several different schools. Some steps you can take to increase your chances of making it into the calendar are:

• Be in the best shape possible: These are swimsuit calendars and you’ll be wearing revealing swim wear; more than likely, a bikini.
• Be well rounded : Although you have a major in one area, you should be well-versed in other topics as well.
• Be friendly: This may not sound like much, but a positive attitude and friendly demeanor will take you farther than being an ice princess.

The girls who pose for the calendars aren’t in it for the monetary compensation because there is none. Instead, they’re looking for the perks that come with being featured, such as being recognized, and being invited on radio programs such as the Howard Stern Show. They might also enjoy bigger opportunities like being discovered as a swimsuit model.

It’s Fun

The girls who pose for the swimsuit calendars understand it's all in good fun. At kickoff parties where the calendars are released and distributed, guys can show their support and admiration by asking for autographs. The coeds are treated like beauty queens and are generally happy to oblige with a few autographs, as well as express their appreciation for their fans. Whether you're hoping to be a featured model or you're simply an admirer, show some school spirit by supporting your school's swimsuit calendar.
