George Washington University Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at George Washington University?

Meredith

GW is pretty expensive school. Therefore, the typical stereotype of students here is that everyone is rich and spoiled. It's definitely what I thought coming in! And even though there are a lot of kids here that come from wealthy backgrounds, there's just as many working their butts off to afford the tuition! And everyone gets along well! Money doesn't individually define us by any means!

bob

snobby rich kids

Mike

That they are rich, snobby, elitist, condescending, exclusive, judgmental, and heavily into partying.

Aaron

They are predominantly wealthy and tend towards the entitled side. It is not unusual to see a girl (or guy) in uggs, a miniskirt or leggings, several layered tops, a blackberry in one hand and a Starbucks in the other. They are quickly annoyed if you inconvenience them in any way and will let you know about it very loudly. On the other hand, I have met some of my best friends in the world at this school. There is a niche for everyone, you just have to find it.

One Stereotype about GW is that it is run like a business and not a university, and that it will screw over its students to save a dollar. Stereotypes about gw students - they are rich, spoiled kids from long island and new york city. They have had everything handed to them in their lives. Another stereotype is that everyone is jewish.

GW Students as a whole are considered wealthier than the average student. This may be because they are able to afford our unprecedentedly high tuition rates.
