Hookups are when a couple get together for a physical encounter and dont expect anything else. Lest you think college students are all lecherous, hooking up doesnt mean having sex, although it can. A hookup usually lasts only one night and is usually between two people who are strangers or brief acquaintances.

How often do college hookups happen?

“About 80 percent of students hook up, on average, less than once per semester over the course of college.”
