Stereotypes are that the parties suck, there's nothing fun to do, everyone, especially the girls are ugly, and that everyone is really smart but have no social skills. Also, Northwestern students are snobby.

there seems to be two stereotypes. one side thinks of northwestern students as the "cooler" school in the chicagoland area that also has good academics. the other camp thinks, in comparison to the big 10 i think, that we also have some pretty dorky, always studying, fiercely competitive students. another stereotype i can think of is the work hard, play hard student. mostly students enjoy being super involved in extracurriculars, as well as dedicated to their academics. there is also a decent grasp of social life here, so not everyone is in the library all the time.

Northwestern students are said to be really nerdy snobs from Connecticut who get all their money from their mommy and daddy. They are thought to be very competitive/ cut-throat with each other and only study all the time.

Rachel
