Many people believe that: we are all lesbians. we are all crazy feminists. we are incapable of having fun. we are all left wing socialist democrats who want the USSR back in power.
Laura
That nobody shaves and everyone turns lesbian by graduation. Also that we're all really weird. Oh yeah, and that we're all major feminists.
Crystal
One of the biggest stereotypes about Bryn Mawr students is that we're all lesbians. Another stereotype is that we're all rich and preppy.
Reese
That we're all bitches, lesbians, prudes. That we never stop studying and have weird traditions and quirks. That we're too politically correct and mouthy.
Susanna
-Lesbians or sexually promiscuous (or both)
-Weird, and wear capes
-feminist
-coming to steal haverford men
-both dumber than Haverford, or brainy
Melissa
That they are very weird and study all the time
Jerry
We're all LUGs (lesbians before graduation) and are more dykie than co-eds. We argue a point into absurdity and don't know when to admit defeat.
Tiffany
That we are bookish man-hating women. Who are driven to the point of being anti-social.

There are all sorts of stereotypes about Bryn Mawr women. Most of them are true, but only to a certain extent. Yes, there are a lot of lesbians, but no, they aren't the majority (to my knowledge), and no, they won't try to "recruit" straight girls or hit on anyone they know you're straight. Every lesbian on campus I have come in contact with has been very friendly (as is the rest of the Bryn Mawr population), and willing to explain anything you might be confused about. For me, it was transgender issues. There are a few transgendered people on campus, and I didn't want to offend anyone by saying the wrong thing or using the wrong pronoun. It was all explained to me, and no one made me feel stupid for asking. Another stereotype is that we're all crazy, cape-wearing, anime-watching, Harry-Potter-obsessed wackos. While there are those girls on campus, they are a small percentage, and they're all very nice. Yet another stereotype is that the women here are either butch or earthy or grungy, and not at all interested in keeping themselves in fashion or make-up'ed. This is also not true. I am one of the girliest of girly girls, and I have found that many other students here are as well.

The main stereotype about Bryn Mawr is that it is a lesbian school since it is a women's college.
