One stereotype about the students at Holy Cross is that all we do is study and nothing else or that we party just as hard as we study which i would consider true.

I think that there are alot of stereotypes about the school, many based solely on the name. Because we are "Holy Cross" people think we are a bunch of uber conservative Bible thumpers.
