I had a pretty juvenile idea of what intellectuals are. Kids are kids. That being said, there are a lot of enviro kids and finance types.

The undergraduate program languages aren't always fantastic. There are definitely some rich, preppy kids. As far as international students, yes there is diversity, but among the American students, not as much as expected.

in the sense that any stereotype is accurate. there's definitely a divide that runs through social groups and interests that usually forms along these lines.

Somewhat, a lot of kids are from East coast, and coming from the Midwest, it is a big change. People here seem more awkward at first, but once you get to know them they are fun.
