What is the stereotype of students at Brown University?

Jenna

That Brown is a "super-duper" liberal campus and most people are gay. Also, a stereotype is that a lot of the students are "hippies" and smoke pot 24/7.

Victoria

I am not aware of any.

Brett

Many students at Brown are stereotyped as being elitist and hyper-liberal, so much so that they resemble the closed-mindedness of the hyper-conservative.

Reese

We're pompus assholes. We're all hispters. We're all Harvard rejects.

Jerry

Liberal. Overly liberal. The only Ivy where kids are cool. Where homosexuality is somewhat common. Party Ivy.

Emily

we are hippies and all liberal

Caitlin

Quirky and awkward. I think there are about 5 different "I'm awkard" facebook groups. There's also I think a perception of kids here being very alternative, whether they're hipsters or granola-crunching hippies.

Eliza

People that don't attend Brown will say one of three things regarding student stereotypes. 1- Aren't there lots of hippies? 2- Isn't everyone just stoned all of the time? 3- Man, that school must be full of nerds.

Kyle

smart, but relaxed, free thinkers, hard workers, not as stuffy as the other ivies.

Rory

that we're the fun and more laid back ivy league students
