Ryan

Hamilton students are known to be preppy, nyc-trust fund, private school children who take advantage of the college experience by drinking as much as possible before they have to go onto the real world to hold jobs on wall street provided by their family connections.

Gray

Hamilton students stereotypically are snobby, rich, obnoxious students who come from pretty good families but who aren't smart enough or good enough to go to Ivy League schools. Most are incredibly pretentious and use their money and labels as a way to make themselves feel better about the fact that they are never going to be the smartest or most successful person in the world. Upon graduating, many students are placed in companies or into jobs which their parents, their parents' friends, and friends of friends have secured for them. Most students work somewhat hard but on the weekends are nothing more than drinking, immature, sex-starved idiots who run around trying to get trashed and hook up with the easiest girl/guy at the party.

Hamilton is definitely known for being too preppy. We're also all supposed to be ridiculous rich and WASPy. We're known for being kind of a party school(even though we work pretty hard too). Not being diverse enough, and the split between the dark side and the light side.
