it's difficult to say..there are different groups with-in UT that have their own stereotypes but these groups can not be generalized as a whole. For instance you have the greeks that dress and act certain ways. Then there are multicultural greeks that have a completely different culture. Then there are stereotypes by major etc. like women in liberal arts, men in engineering, Asians in science. But I guess over all from a college student perspective UT is a party school?
