From the conversations and articles I have witnessed over the years, I have heard Morgan State University being stereotyped, or "crowned" as one of the most highly recognized and successful Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) in the nation. As an HBCU, Morgan State University values the influence and positive messages relayed by the students in their Greek Letter organizations because they encourage unity, scholarship, and service to the community. They also take pride in the accomplishments of their engineering department; which is nationally ranked third for awarding bachelors degrees to African Americans. With all this said, the stereotypes I have heard describing Morgan State University's students have been, Greek, Engineers, and Athletes. And to this date, I find that to be highly accurate.

I believe, as for most schools, that Morgan State University has all types of stereotypes at the school. We have many members of sports teams, members of fraternities and sororities, students involved in school organizations, students that focus on nothing by education. Like all schools, our atmosphere is encompassed by many different students, cultures, and backgrounds and it helps bring overall unity to the school. Meaning that there is not one type of group that you always see or seen as the popular students. A new student coming or looking to come will be able to find students and groups that they can fit in to and relate to.

Among the common stereotypes heard at my school are the fact that Morgan is a big party school and students are not serious about their work. This is absolutely false.

The stereotypes at my school are the party promoters, SGA, Greeks, athletes and scholars. The stereotypes are accurate.
