I would say that one of the biggest stereotypes is that UT is a party school, and not much more.

One stereotype about The University of Texas in general is that it is simply a party school. This may have something to do with Princeton Review ranking us the number 1 party school in the nation last year...Indeed, Texas students know how to party. Also, people outside of Texas, particularly in the northern part of the country think The University of Texas has a politically conservative population. With President Bush and the strict death penalty associated with Texas, I can see why UT could be assumed very conservative. Lastly, with great universities comes the snob stereotype. Perhaps, Texas students are just confident.
