The stereotype at my school tends to be Agriculture major stereotypes, like cowboys, or hillbillies...I find it to be relatively acturate.

The stereotype of students at NC State is that we are rednecks. I feel like this stereotype is inaccurate.

Most people think that all students at State are rednecks or just kids that did not get in to UNC. This cannot be farther from the truth. State has a lot of diversity, more than even I thought they would have. Yes there are "country" kids, but there are just as many "city" kids and other kids from all walks of life. State has some of the most intelligent kids I know. I was fifth in my class in high school and thought college would be somewhat of a breeze. I am a science major at NC State. The sciences at State are very, very challenging. Yes, you can make an A, but only if you put in the work. If you want to be number one in your class at NC State, you better work harder than everyone else, because there are many kids are who are just flat out smarter than anyone I have ever met.

There are not any major stereotypes that I have heard of, although I tend to hear that students at State are only engineers or agriculture majors. There is little mention of other majors. This is partially accurate, although not completely true. North Carolina State University is mostly composed of engineering and agriculture majors, but also offers a wide variety of majors.

At my school we have all of the stereotypes. You can find your niche at NCSU and thats what makes this place so great. We have the Geek, the Stoner, the Jock, the Frat daddies all of that.

North Carolina State University students are stereotyped as being redneck, country loving and camo wearing southerners. I would like to emphasize that this is certainly not the case. Many students are from the south, but the negative connotation of 'redneck' undermines the true hard working, dependable, intelligent, and friendly nature of these students. Many more are not even from the south, and resent being deemed 'redneck'. NC state students are bright and dedicated to working/studying hard while still having fun outside of the classroom. I have made amazing friends at school and have learned that there is not an adequate 'averge' student to represent NC states diverse student population, but they all share their pride for the wolfpack and love for the school in common!

The most common stereotypes at NCSU are "engineering geeks" or "rednecks" because of the large population of engineering students and agricultural students. The stereotype can be viewed as true because there is a large number of these types of students, but there are also plenty of other groups and types of people here.
Jamie
NC State is such a large community that we don't really have one type of student. Instead, we have a large variety of students with different interests and backgrounds. Chances are that you will find a niche of friends that can relate to your own "stereotype."
Brittany
Geeks are a common stereotype at my school. It can be accurate in the sense that a good majority of students take pride in their education, but that cannot be used to define the entire student population.
