Gettysburg College Top Questions

I suppose there are a lot of people like that at school, but that is definitely not the case for me. I go to school on scholarship and government aid. I also know plenty of other people that that's not the case for. But yeah, I can see where that stereotype comes from.

There are those who fit the stereotypes but there are many who do not and are much more than that.

Not enitrely. If one person is like the stereotype it gets spread to everyone because the campus is so small. We actually have a lot of international and students from different backgrounds. And not everyone is a Civil War expert!

Personally, I don't think so. Yes, there are a lot of rich, high-class intelligent white people here. However, not everyone is like that. I think our campus is extremely diverse with gradients of class, races, ethnicities, and ranges of intelligence. I know I'm not extremely smart, I'm not rich, and I'm definitely not hardcore Christian, so I definitely don't fit the stereotype most people have. And a lot of other people don't. So I definitely think it's safe to say that that those stereotypes aren't completely accurate. Which is good because there may be people out there who don't want to go to a college with snotty, rich people. The unfortunate thing is that because of the nature of people (sometimes), they see that stereotype and run away from it because they might think "Hey, I'm not a rich hardcore Christian white kid who's really smart, so I won't fit in". They don't give this college a chance to find out that Gettysburg isn't full of snotty, white, supersmart and super religious people, like I did.

yes alot of girls are snobby and most of the kids fit that persona but not everyone. You cant place everyone into one category at any college.
