Hippies, pretty wealthy upperclass students

well the stereotype used to be hippies, but that isn't really true anymore. Now all we have are trustafarians (rich kids who think shopping second-hand for the first time in their life makes them a hippie) but there is a huge outdoorsmen presence on campus. The ORC – outdoor recreation committee is one of the largest organizations on campus and the amount of professional outdoorsmen (skiers, climbers, cyclists, etc.) on campus is pretty high. We also get the reputation for being a liberal, rich, white kids school. One of my friends even ran into a woman at the airport that said “oh yeah, that’s where all those socialists go to school.” The culture of the student body is quickly changing though so I can't really comment on the direction it's going.
