Is the stereotype of students at George Washington University accurate?

Craig

In some areas this is true, but there are many kids that are here on academic and need-based scholarships who are not like that at all.

sometimes. Most stereotypes have some sort of basis.

Catherine

No.

Ryan

yes

Max

The stereotype that many of the students are very affluent is true, but not all are. Also there are a lot of students from the New York/New Jersey area, but not all students are.

Sarah

somewhat. most people are interested in politics but most students are just curious and that translates into politics because we're in DC. there are completely different levels, if you're not interested it's easy to "catch the bug" here but it's not like everyone goes out at night talking about the upcoming election. A lot of students are wealthy but so many are on financial aid. Most students have jobs and work for their own money. There is a sizable jewish population on campus but it's not overwhelming at all
