What is the stereotype of students at Boston College?

Charlie

White. Irish Catholic. Preppy. Wealthy.

We're all comfortable upper middle class white students that pop their collars and wear designer clothes.

Andy

That BC students all dress, look, and act the same.

Dave

Upper class, white, arrogant, rich, stuck up.

Carson

That we're all rich. That everyone is an over-acheiver but still party hard. All the girls don't eat. Everyone is very preppy. A stereotype about varsity athletes is that we all have it easy and get cut breaks by professors.

Kaitlin

The typical stereotype of a BC student is someone who is a good student but also someone who likes to have a good time. Generally people are believed to be very preppy and from a well off family. Almost everyone at BC is involved in some sort of activity, they don't just go to class and come home.

Martha

A lot of rich people, very preppy

Harry

You hear a lot about everyone being rich and in turn "snobby." Male athletes being jerks, and using their status to get girls...a lot. Kids in the School of Management get hit with not only the nerdy, book worm type; but they "think they are better than everyone else."

Chris

No good party's. Too many losers. Too many Asains. Think they are above everyone. Fan base sucks... Students are too worried about drinking. No Frat's or Sororities.

Elizabeth

preppy, rich

Dylan

Students are rich, white, entitled stereotypical New England jerks. They're all Red Sox fans that care way too much about their appearance. BC is a hard partying school.

Andrew

Massholes, Popped Collars, Superficial

That BC is very preppy and conservative. That all the "frat boys" and sorority girls go to BC. Everyone is really athletic and wealthy.

Mike

one major stereotype is that the majority of the student body is made up of rich white kids with too much money

Cody

Preppy, smart, athletic, well-rounded, snobby

Kate

As for stereotypes, the typical BC girl carries an overly large, overly expensive purse, spends about an hour and a half getting ready for class, and pays homage to her Uggs from October to April. Boys are either clean-cut preps or extremely fit jocks. Girls seem vapid; Boys seem like party-crazy bone heads.

Andrew
