What is the stereotype of students at Carnegie Mellon University?

Andrew

The most common stereotype about CMU is that it is a dorky school for workaholics with no social lives. People also think the students here are all Asian engineers and weird drama people. Plus I heard somewhere that in a survey the girls at our school were voted the ugliest in the country.

The main stereotype about CMU students is that they all stay in their rooms and play video games all day.

CMU has a stereotype of being an incredibly nerdy school with a very limited social scene. It is try that most of the students are generally nerdy engineering and computer science people but as far as the social atmosphere - if you know where to go it can actually be pretty good.
