What is the stereotype of students at DePaul University?

Kaitlin

I feel like some stereotypes about DePaul are made up and joked about from within. List form is by far the best means of stereotype . -We're where the gay kids in Chicago go. -We have more money than can be fathomed. -All we do is bar hop.

The DePaul Stigma: everyone who goes here couldn't get into many other Chicago schools and can afford to pay to go here.

Christine

People tend to say DePaul is full of artsy liberals. They also say DePaul is a commuter school.

Tony

No. There is a wide range of all types of people.

DePaul is pretty much called DeGay because there are so many gay students on campus, but boystown is just one EL stop away so it's understandable. I would say that I have never met any DePaul student that is not outgoing though. I think that to survivie in the city you have to have a certain personality that makes everyone at DePaul outgoing.
