What is the stereotype of students at University of Utah?

Number 1 stereotype: That everyone's Mormon--and therefore the environment at "the U" is very constricted. Others include: - The fact that we DESPISE our rival all-Mormon school, BYU, and when it comes to sports, we bleed RED for our teams. - Since Utah has beautiful mountains and an amazing outdoor scenery, it is believed that U of U students live for hard core outdoor adventures. - Finally, and for this resembling Salt Lake Community College a bit, U students are mostly non-traditional, that is, instead of being your average high school grads, MORE than half of the U of U communinty is made up of, shall I say, older students who entered after having taken some time off to work or travel or start a family.
