A lot of people think that it's extremely preppy. Some people think that as a small school it's boring, others who have heard about Denison's history assume that it's still crazy.

Steryotype #1: Denison is a party school. Steryotype #2: Denison is in the middle of nowhere. Otherwise... because Denison often finishes AFTER Kenyon at Swimming meets, it's a steryotyope that Kenyon is a better swimming program than Kenyon.

Parker

The stereotype is that Denison students are ignorant and privileged...they enjoy wearing pink shorts with lobsters on them and don't have to worry about finding a job after school because "Daddy's connections" have got them covered, they care more about fashion and being drunk rather than the state of the world or their own campus, another stereotype is that Denison is a bubble-'a college on a hill' isolated from the real world

Alex

Denison students are often stereotyped as rich, upper-middle class white kids who love a good party. Many, students or not, see Denison as a nice, safe, little bubble of a community up on a hill. Greek life is very prevalent. Conservative, traditional outlook and views.
