There are many students who fall under this catergory of being both very wealthy and very smart. However, not all of the students who attend DU are rich, however the smart stereotype pretty much goes across the board. But that is one stereotype I would like to have on me.

To some degree, yes... But I've been able to meet so many individual, unique, fun people from all types of different backgrounds and with all types of different interests. There is a reason the stereotype exists, but I wouldn't say that it is overwhelmingly true.

I think most kids at DU are pretty well off. I haven't really run into a great deal of diversity either, so that really backs up the white stereotype. I don't really feel like it's a problem, but I do feel some people think they are better than others just because they are wealthy. As far as the athletes, its a very athletic school, but I don't think this is a bad stereotype.
Robin
Overwhelmingly accurate. This school feels like a private high school.
Reed
Partly true. Most of the students do seem to come from well-off families, so expect to be outspent at bars and clubs. Then again, the university's liberal administration has taken big steps to make the campus more socioeconomically diverse. Ethnic minorities and queer students receive a good deal of support from the university. Liberal campus, but not as liberal as CU Boulder.

There are definitely a fair share of rich kids, but not all of them are stuck up. You will find that over breaks almost everyone goes on exotic vacations to Mexico, Europe, Africa, etc. like it is no big deal. But I have found some great friends-rich and average and everything in between.

Yes 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Admissions tends to focus on the postive sterotypes, but the negative ones are overwhelming....

To be honest, there is not a lot of diversity on the campus compared to other schools, so yes, there are a lot of white kids. Many of them are on scholarship and are working during the school year to support themselves though, so I would say that although it is an expensive school to attend, not everyone here is rich.

I would agree that that there is a scale of economics within the DU population that may be higher than the state colleges like CSU and CU. I would however say that there are the students here are just like any student at any other university. The thing that makes DU students different is the fact that we are on a much smaller campus with a smaller population of students. While most of the DU population is from somewhere other than Colorado... Contrary to the stereotype everyone on this campus knows one another and are friendly to those they don't. I cant say for certain that the rich kids spending their parent's money is any different from any other school that I have gone to. The students here will push you to succeed regardless of financial background.

No, we have a diverse group of students from many economic levels. However, the business school in particular is not very diverse in terms of race. Daniels, unfortunately, has a majority of white students.
