We are all nerds we are really competitive We don't have good parties

That they were polos and blazers and are really rich and snotty. Or the other one that they are crazy hippy liberal.

Everyone is very type-A, has no fun, doesn't go out, big nerds. You get no personal attention, it is really easy to get A's, undergraduates get shafted.

They either want to become I-bankers and make loads of money (they are insensitive) or they are hippies that just want to change the world but don't quite know how.

Kelati

Harvard students are rich and preppy. Harvard students are really arrogant and exclusive. Harvard students are complete nerds with no social life. Everyone is an intense pre-law or pre-med student.

Some stereotype about Harvard students is that they're all rich, wear expensive clothes, and flaunt this whenever they can. For some reason people also seem to think we have thick Boston accents and say Hahvahd all the time.

Shelby

Many outsiders seem to be operating under the misconception that Harvard students are cutthroat, calculating, and aloof.

James

The two main stereotypes that I've heard about Harvard students is that they're a) extremely wealthy and b) extremely intelligent (i.e., genius-quality). I've also heard that Harvard students never stop working or never leave the library, and that they don't know how to have a good time.
