The student body at BU is too diverse to even try and put a stereotype to it. There are students from all 50 states, all US territories and over 50 countries. So if there is a stereotype out there, then no it is not accurate.
Amanda
Absolutely not. BU consists of an incredibly large diversity of people.

I think the main stereotypes of BU students would be snobby rich girls, self-centered frat boys, and those that got rejected from BC. Neither of which I see as accurate. Some people that attend BU are richer than others, but there are not a lot of them who consistently brag about it. You will always have the few that see it as the most important thing to them so they talk about it a little too much. Boys, well yeah some are self-centered, but I must say most that I have run into are great! Everyone is looking to meet new people and see what someone else's life is like. Finally, not everyone that attends BU got rejected from BC, I know people who got into both and chose BU over BC and personally I didn't even apply to BC because I didn't like it so that stereotype is completely false !

From my understanding BU students are often stereotyped as rich, materialistic girls. While BU does have its fair share of these girls they are by no means the majority of the student body. There are just too many different students at BU to make any one stereotype.

I'd say sometimes. There's definitely the BU Female Uniform (north face, Uggs, Burberry).
Academically, it depends on your major and the involvement you have. You can get as much out of the experience as you want. BU has more resources than just about any school in the area, with world-renown faculty... or you can just stay home and skate by by playing the system, it's really up to you.
Not too many folks are actually invested in their education here, which is a bummer.

Some. About 60/40 girls to guys, and most of those ladies are cookie cutter. Rather unfortunate.
