Nerds, don't talk to anyone, not fun

CHILL!! And smart. And down to earth. And chill. Did I mention chill?

some stereotypes I hear about washu (from other washu students ironically) is that we're all nerdy and super focused on academics.

There are stereotypes abound at Wash U: *1* The average Wash U girl is uglier than the average Anywhere Else girl. *2* EVERYone is smart here, no matter how stoned or ditsy they may seem. *3* The buildings are gorgeous on the outside. Inside, they're just average. *4* The harder the worker, the drunker the weekend. *5* Don't be in architecture.

rich kids

I think Wash U is seen as a school full of people who prefer to stay in and study rather than go out on a given weekday or weekend night. Another is that we're not as cut-throat competitive with eachother in academics as a lot of students at east coast schools of similar ranking. A third is that we're really not into our sports teams, and do not really go to games.

I think the biggest stereotype about WashU students is that the girls are ugly. There is also the notion that living off campus is cheaper than living in the dorms.
