Is the stereotype of students at Yale University accurate?

Greg

Some of them are, because this is the reason that most stereotypes begin. However, it completely depends from person to person. There are these types of people, but there are just as many who do not have money, are down to earth, and there are even some conservatives. I think that Yale strikes a great balance here. Other ivies, such as Harvard and Princeton (I have spent significant time at both), I feel are more stuck up and elitist than I typically see in everyday life at Yale.

Lindsay

I do not think that these stereotypes are accurate at all. I think, generally, Yale students do a really good job at balancing their social, academic, and if it applies, athletic lives.

Max

The stereotypes are accurate even though even the studious people tend to be very outgoing at Yale.

Rich- yes; white- yes; preppy- many are, but about as many don't give a shit because they don't have to in order to find work

Hannah

NO! Many people do dress preppy, but 98{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the campus is NOT stuck up, full of ourselves, or assholes.

sometimes yes, sometimes no
