Party School Art School Hippies

that we are racist, only white, laid back, pary all the time, lodge is a drug den, all kids that attened went to private high school.

That it is a party school with a laid-back, liberal atmosphere

It is a party school. It has a very southern background and the stereotypes that go along with that. It is not very diverse and is mainly girls.

Well, they're stereotypes - and usually I hear things like: either laid back or preppy, independent, i guess it might be a stereotype but really polite and nice - the Southern thing

A few stereotypes are that CofC is a party school or that we are just a bunch of beach bums.

That we are rich, smart, party/hippie children!

That C of C is composed of upper-middle class white females. That everyone is beautiful but identical. That all we do is drink and bum on the beach.

that we are all rich preppy kids or hippies... that C of C is not as academically "high-up" as other schools

A lot of people seem to think that CofC is a party school because we are located near the beach, but I do not think that there is any more partying here than there is at any other school. Of course there are always temptations, but you just need to be able to balance your academics along with your free time and make sure that your school work always comes first. According to one article that I've heard of, "If CofC students were any more laid back, they'd fall over."
