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.

Charlie

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