Vanderbilt is a very Southern school that draws bright students from all over the country. We are a very preppy group of students who "work hard and play hard".

Many people think that all Vandy girls are blonde, tan, and gorgeous. They also make the presumption that everyone is extremely wealthy. There is also the stereotype that Vandy kids work hard and play hard.

The stereotype of the blond, rich, WASPy Vandy kid still prevails, I guess. The motto here is basically "work hard, play hard" and so there's a pretty big emphasis on going out and having fun after class and on the weekends.

Sarah

rich, snobby, southern and proper

Jane

I guess the typical stereotype of a Vanderbilt student would be that they are ultra-conservative, slightly southern, very preppy, and most likely wealthy. Girls are in sororities and guys are in fraternities, and, while the students work hard, partying is a major part of a students life.

Well there's the one that all Vandy-girls are hot. And locally, theres the stereotype that all vandy students are super-rich and super-nerdy, as if we never leave the library and think that taking shots means taking pictures.
