They are somewhat, We have a really good looking campus. I think the most accurate but probably lesser known stereotype is the high amount of Christians on campus. Nearly everyone you meet is Christian. I'm an atheist and I think I've only met one or two other atheists since arriving at Vanderbilt in the Fall and it's now the middle of March.

School is what you make of it. If you believe these stereotypes then they will be true for you, but you can also choose to ignore them and find your own meanings of Vanderbilt.

Not accurate at ALL. There is such diversity here at Vanderbilt, and I have very close friends that do not fit into any of those stereotypes.

Overall I mostly do not believe these stereotypes to be true. While the majority of the student body is very well put together and concerned with appearance, it is no more prevalent than at other campuses of the same category. The stereotypes associated with Greek life are somewhat more reliable and can be self-perpetuating based on students cross-rushing and being typecast into certain organizations. Other than that my experience at Vanderbilt has shattered many of the stereotypes I had about the school going into my Freshman year.
