Is the stereotype of students at George Washington University accurate?

Isabella

Rich kids are the most common stereotype. While this is sorta true, I would not say that it's the majority of students.

Meredith

Well the stereotype of students at GW is that everyone is rich. And although there is a majority of students who are from wealthy families, there are still a large number of people working hard and maintaining scholarships. Although there is some truth within the stereotype of GW students, it's more of a huge misunderstanding of the students here.

Mike

Although I came here thinking that such stereotypes would be impossible in such an international environment, I found within a few weeks here that they are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

James

Like all stereotypes, they're based upon some amount of truth, but there are plenty of students here who don't fit the stereotype.

Skylar

For the most part no, but some groups definitely fit that stereotype. Its sad that few people give the rest a bad name.

Michael

For as the wealthy part, i know that most of my friends are well off, but not rich. A lot of my friends are on either athletic or academic scholarships, and/or student loans. There are some stuck up students, but it is a crowd that you wont even notice if you dont want to.

Alex

yes, there are many people who are wealthy and are from the northeast but i don't think that it comprises the entire student body

Charlie

Absolutely.
