I will have to side with Chuck Norris on this one. Buy a total gym. I got mine for 100 bucks shipped, with very light use on it. I did cardio on a bicycle, 9 miles a day / 45mins with a heart rate over 160 bpm. The total gym is great for upper body and abs, plus you can do it fast enough to keep your heart rate up, thus extending your cardio workout. I even had a skeptical personal trainer give it a try. He bought one a few days latter.

I do agree with JRH, more reps with lighter weight seems to produce better "real world" results. I have a stocky build naturally, and can build muscle eaily, but not lose fat. More cardio worked for me, and I felt tons better. Plus if you have a lighter build, you will have to live in the gym to maintain any bulk. Better to be in good shape and be healthy, than be a meat head...

As for the ladies, physical appearance is important, but if you stand there like a spare prick at a wedding you will not get very far. Work on your overall intelligence (read a dictionary, and watch the discovery channel, and scan a newspaper) and personal hygiene. Chicks like guys who dress well, so investing some money in some quasi designer clothes is not a bad idea. Don't stray too far from your personal style, you still want to look comfortable.

My best tip for college life is to stay away from drugs (pills too) and work on your alcohol tolerance. The drinkers are a better crowd to hang with than the druggies, plus a few drinks never hurt anyones chance of making a "love connection" (drinks go in the girl, not you) Make a bunch of friends, and have a good time, maybe try to get a degree...
