There are two primary stereotypes of a UC Berkeley student. 1. The Hippie Stoner: Because of our history in the 60's, when you say "I go to Berkeley", many people think you are an active protester, smoke pot all day, and only eat tree bark. 2. The Over-Achiever: This type of student has virtually no social life and keeps their nose in a book, so they can become a Doctor/Lawyer/I-Banker.

That they're strange

That Berkeley is full of crazy, hippies who want to sit in trees or get high. Or that all the students are so stressed out that they cannot handle the pressure.

most believe that we are either hippies, tree-huggers, radical protesters who are constantly getting high. or there is the other stereotypical student who is the nerd who is always in the library, being a know it all with pocket protectors and tape holding their glasses together.
Jerry
UC Berkeley: Hippies abound, hobos everywhere, weed for all
Students: pretty smart, not much to look at
Felicia
Students do not have a life outside of classes. They overstress about grades. UC Berkeley is primarily White and Asian.
Dylan
That all students are geniuses, liberal, and there is a large hippie population among students.
Professors are all liberal and those views are obvious in classrooms, specifically the social sciences where many faculty are pro-marxist lefties.
Also, that the UC Berkeley student population is "real diverse."
Shawn

Students are ultra-competitive and the girls aren't hot.

Berkeley is liberal, anti-God, full of hippies and druggies.
Berkeley students are very smart and super competitive and will eat each other just to get an A.
Berkeley is one of the dream schools for many Asian parents.
