The stereotypes of CU Boulder students is that we are hippies, and stoners. With 30,000 people on campus, there are so many different types of students. Since freshman year, I have yet to notice a big amount of hippies around campus. The other stereotype, stoners, is interesting because I think we get that name because of the 4/20 event held on campus every year. An interesting fact about that is the majority of people who come to that gathering are people from all around the united states. It is more a bunch of random people then all CU students.

Most people think that students at CU and people who live in Boulder are all peace-loving, freedom-fighting, pot-smoking hippies. To me, the hippy that people think of is someone who believes in equal opportunities for everyone, fighting the law whenever it restricts freedom of speech, celebrating the body and following one's spirit, and wearing clothing to specifically not conform to governmental ideas of "normal". I'd say a large handful of students fit this description, but a majority of the students are not extremist. As students finding our identity, we fight for what we believe in and embrace the freedom away from home; however, we do not all become active participants in social movements or wear flowery skirts and tye-dye shirts.
