Due to the constant rise of tuition and living expenses, usually college students turn to intimidating loans, scholarships, and parental assistance for financial help; however, other female students in the Southern region of the country are utilizing the Sugar Baby lifestyle.
SeekingArrangement.com, the world’s largest Sugar Daddy website, recently released its annual “Top 20 Fastest Growing Sugar Baby Schools” list, with Georgia State ranking number one with 292 enrolled sugar babies, up from number 11 in 2011.
“The data is based upon the student e-mail addresses the women use on the website,” said Jennifer Gwynn, Public Relations Manager of SeekingArrangement.com.
The South is quickly becoming popular spot for sugar babies in universities. University of Georgia, who came in second on the list in 2011, dropped to number eight.
“Georgia and Florida are the most common because of the economic turmoil in the South,” said Gwynn.
Katherine Ashley, a senior at Georgia State, agreed that economic distress could be a reason for Georgia State’s ranking.
“Maybe with the economic times, those women need some extra money while they’re students so they won’t have to work,” said Ashley.
Graduate student Camila Brioli, however, was surprised with the university’s ranking.
“That doesn’t look very good,” said Brioli. “I’m surprised because I think people here are more independent than that.”
