Harvard University Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at Harvard University accurate?

Daniela

No. Most people are rather ordinary.

Mel

Part of them are true.

Lia

Yeah

Tristan

no. some students don't have such personality

Kris

yes. when i read the question above, many stereotypes immediately popped into my head, all very different but sort of perversely similar. Anyway, I suppose we're stereotyped as overachieving in some way or another, be it school, extra currics, social, etc.

Emily

Sometimes, but the campus is really friendly and students definitely help each other out in classes

Mike

Smart and cut-throat are very accurate, but wealthy and preppy describes only a very small part of the student body.

Corey

for the most part, but there are definitely exceptions (both students and faculty)

Jamie

Only slightly

Greg

In as much as any stereotype is going to be accurate about a certain percentage of the group you're stereotyping. I'd say that you probably get more type A overachievers at Harvard than elsewhere, but far from everyone is that way.
