What is the stereotype of students at Haverford College?

Gene

Incredibly ugly girls...lowers the entire morale on campus. Kids on campus complain to much about nothing; like hearing their own voices. People take offense to everything; go out of their way to BE offended. 95{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students seriously lax social skills.

Haverford students are stereotyped as nerdy idealists who live and learn inside the "Haverbubble" and don't acknowledge the real world.

Stephanie

Haverford students are awkward. Haverford is a shitty party school. Haverford students are really nice and friendly. People at Haverford are way too PC. Haverford students don't like talking about grades and go out of their way to avoid talking about them. Students are very down to earth, not pretentious at all. Students are very tolerant of others.

Alex

The normal Haverford male is 5'7, brilliant, and socially inept. The normal Haverford female is relatively the same hight, just as smart, although with more social intelligence than the male. The lacrosse and baseball teams have a bad rep on campus for being the partiers. However, when compared to the normal college male of a large university, they would be considered bookworms.

Anna

Haverford students are known for being hippy-ish, down-to-earth, liberal, and generally, pretty nice. I think we also have a reputation for being intellectual, quirky, nerdy, and socially awkward.

Tori

We work too hard, don't party and are socially awkward.

Paige

"Havermales" are typically short Jews from New Jersey. We have a reputation of being extremely politically correct.

Andrew

Supposedly, we're socially awkward and we have way too many extracurriculars. Our guys are supposed to be short and hairy and our girls more attractive.

Jeff

I'm not entirely sure, but my best guess would be that we're a bunch of kind, intelligent people. Some more specific stereotypes are that all of the men are short, hairy, and named Dan and most of the people in general are unattractive.

Many people think that Haverford is an easier version of Swathmore and Haverford students are mostly people rejected from Swat.

Some people think that Haverford is filled with people that lock themselves in hteir rooms 24/7 to get work done. People think the guys are all short, hairy and wear glasses.

Jen

socially awkward, unattractive; there's a stereotype about the really nerdy people who we call the "Phantom 500," meaning that they are rarely seen because they work so much. We describe people as being "phantom" when we have never seen them before or if they rarely emerge from their rooms.

Mark

Nerdy college with a lot of awkward and really young looking kids, mainly short guys named Dan who are really hair and sing a cappella and women that would either rather study than talk a "boy" or absolutely boy/party crazy and cannot believe that go here; crazy track team that dominates conference but doesn't have any connection with the rest of the school.

That it is no fun and the people are all weird.
