Emerson students are all gay, smokers, creative/artsy

We are stereotyped into being trust-fund baby hipsters. And film nerds. Very opinionated and shallow in terms of art, and never ironic enough in terms of fashion. Everyone has a major nicotine addiction, evidenced by the solid layer of cigarette butts outside the Little Building. The major one is all the men are gay, which is the only diversity in the school. The advertised racial diversity (though they do it without saying the word racial) is a facade, built to conceal the stereotype that we're all white. And we all smoke pot.

The most common stereotypes seems to either be that all Emerson students are hipsters, or all Emerson males are gay. Overall the school does have the general persona of being very artsy, hip, and liberal.

The sterotype is that we are all homosexuals, smokers, hipsters, and pretentious artsy-type people.
