Is the stereotype of students at Carnegie Mellon University accurate?

Andrew

I think for the most part we are a school of workaholics. Everybody here is very smart and very dedicated to whatever they're studying. We are also almost always stressed out. The one thing people don't realize is you can have a pretty good social life. There are lots of parties on the weekends, a fair number of attractive girls and even though a lot of guys have no idea who Peyton Manning or Tiger Woods are, there are still a fair number of normal college guys who like to drink beer and watch sports and go to parties to meet girls.

This stereotype is incredibly true for some people. However it does not represent the majority of campus AT ALL. Most people are active in a couple organizations and interested in the world around them.

Rob

Basically, yes.
