Wesleyan University Top Questions

Hipsters. Hipsters everywhere.

Over the years, the sports teams at Wesleyan have really started to assert themselves. In soccer, volleyball, crew, cross-country and lacrosse, the teams really excel. Are Wesleyan students hipsters? Well, some of them, but not many. There are plenty of jocks at the school - in fact, more than there used to be. There are also fraternities. Our rival schools don't have fraternities anymore. Pot smoking isn't that huge. Opinions, chalking, protests and political passion are rampant, but that's a good thing!

For the most part

Yes, all stereotypes seem to come from some truth. However, while there are pot-smoking liberal hippies, there are also those who live to be "hipsters," those who wear Abercrombie, and those who are "jocks." The best part of Wesleyan is that you can be anything - weird, or not, just yourself, and almost everyone on campus will love you and accept you unconditionally.
