In general, Seattle students are seen to be very liberal in their political views and very environmentally conscious.

Seattle U is considered very liberal, as is most of the Pacific Northwest. It's also considered very multicultural, as Jesuit university devoted to such mantras.

The major stereotype about Seattle U is that everyone is a bunch of liberal hippies.

Seattle University students are considered very wealthy, snobby, and spoiled. The city of Seattle is considered very laid back, fun, wet, cold, and full of coffee shops.

Seattle has a large gay population; my guess is to some it is really shocking at first, although for me its been irrelevant (the bay area, namely San Francisco, also has a large gay population).

The biggest stereotype is that Seattle is accepting of all types of people, and Seattle univeristy students are all rich.

That there are no parties. That everyone is liberal and really snobby about independent movies and music. That we're all Catholic.

Seattle U is stereotyped as a school with a big indie population. Kids are known for having diverse cultural interests and taking advantage of the city life. It's not known for its party life or brilliant students.
