What is the stereotype of students at Lewis & Clark College?

Rogan

That we all have dreadlocks, and wear Birkenstocks, and smoke heavy weed and cigerettes! But that we are also extremely smart and diverse, and have a strong emphasis on the environment and political affairs. Current events are present everywhere, when you look for them, as are just about all extracurricular interest related crowds. Its intellectual conversation everywhere!

The big stereotype my friends & I hear is that LC is the standard hippy/pot-head liberal arts college, off in its own little bubble, occupied by a small population of well-to-do students, whose parents have way too much money. There is also a stereotype that LC academics is not very rigorous. And of course, everyone is ultra-liberal/ultra left-wing.

Amy

White elitist liberal hypocrites who talk a lot about activism, but mostly sit around their dorm rooms smoking pot. Constantly complaining about the administration. Desperately trying to prove that they are more liberal than someone else. Despises Christianity, but other religions are ok. Cares about environment, human rights, politics, and international issues.
