Preppy rich kids

Hmmm... the only thing I can think of is the stereotype of Gonzaga being a religious college and possibly that the students follow the same faith at Gonzaga.

Gonzaga is often seen as a medium to small Catholic instituition that is strict. Sometimes the students are judged as snobbish to other Universities or people who are different, considering we don't have a lot of diversity on campus.

That the school is full of pretentious rich kids.

Most people think that Zags are rich, boring, overachievers who just study and don't have fun.

Gonzaga students are stuck in this Jesuit school because they've been raised religious and act like like junior high kids who sneak out of their parents' house trying to be bad.

I think that the greatest stereotype about Gonzaga students is that we are all really religious kids, when in actuality so many of us are not. While Gonzaga is a Jesuit school and they do require students to take religion classes, many of the students aren't religious or don't have a religious background. Another stereotype of Gonzaga I think would be that we are all focused on basketball. While basketball is our biggest and most recognized sport it is certainly not the main focus of the school or the students. However it does provide a great outlet for students and faculty to get away from the pressures of the school year for a while.
