What is the stereotype of students at Yale University?

Rory

I think the main stereotype about Yale as that we’re these elitist bluebloods.

Bryan

Snobbery! Pure snobbery. Endless snobbery. George W. Bush.

Robin

Yale specifically, I think, has it the least bad, but in general I would say that Ivy kids are typecast as elitist preppy prep-school kids, who wear tweed jackets and vests, with money to burn. They can't hold their alcohol, they're maladjusted and they never, ever, swear ever. They'll all be President some day.

Greg

Rich, stuck up, extremely liberal.

Lindsay

I think that the most obvious stereotype is that all Yale students are really smart. I also think that people view Yale students as the type that just study all the time and don't really go out and have fun. I think most people think of shows like Gilmore Girls and movies like The Skulls when they think about Yale.

Max

There are two types of students at Yale. The excessive partygoers (mainly athletes and fraternity brothers) and the studious people.

Dawson

Rich, white, preppy.

Hannah

That we are very preppy and stuck up. It's also commonly thought that we're full of ourselves and/or assholes.

Joe

that they are uptight, overambitious, and ugly
