no - everyone is pretty well-rounded, and NU students do their share of partying like anywhere else

Kind of. You can find cool people between the rich and awkward people.

Yes. Exactly.

YES!! The people (for the most part, of course there are a few, but very few, exceptions) are pretty boring, socially awkward and too "smart" for their own good.

The part about being socially awkward Ivy League rejects is mostly untrue. The majority of the people I've met here aren't the least bit socially awkward, and for a lot of them Northwestern was their first choice school. The dating scene isn't great. Sometimes it seems like you're either practically married or you're just hooking up. There's not a whole lot in between. I think part of the reason is because Northwestern students realize that the reason you go to college is so that you can be successful later in life, not to find your future spouse.

Not accurate - there is a lot of social life for anyone who wants it. However, everyone has a little bit of nerd in them, which doesn't mean they're not still cool.

To some extent, but not really. There are people who think they're "all that" just because they got in, but for the most part people are down to earth and we have a decent amount of diversity.

There is always some degree of truth to stereotypes or they wouldn't exist in the first place.

Yeah, but they also party hard in between.
