That every student is a stoner hippy who only cares about the environment. Another stereotype is that the students are separated from the community. Also that the student body as a whole is not social and school events are not attended very often and school spirit is lacking.

Er. It's not exactly a ridiculously well known school, so I don't think there are any national stereotypes...

Some people like to classify LC as being full of hippies and while there are people that I guess you could see as being 'hippies' there is a lot more to the population of students. In fact, even those you could call 'hippies' go around smoking cigarettes, littering, and not doing much good for the environment- but that's just some of them. But we have people that strive to improve the environment, we have students who want to become doctors, teachers, politicians, musicians, teachers... it's a huge range.
