What is the stereotype of the students?

The Stereotype at LSU is accurate to a certain degree. A great deal of people do enjoy going out and partying every night, riding on the drunk bus, getting drunk, etc. But with every large school, there is diversity. I personally don't enjoy going out every single night, usually once or twice every few weeks as a break from school, as well as a majority of my friends in the dorm I stay in (Evangeline Hall). In reality, the stereotype is going to hold for a good amount of people at LSU, although not EVERYONE enjoys partying every single night. So don't be discouraged if you aren't a partier, you'll find a place at LSU. On the same note, don't be discouraged if you are a partier, because you'll most definitely find a place here at LSU.

Stereotypes are never completely accurate. People are too complicated and individual to categorize and hold them to certain characteristics.

I like to say stereotypes are "statistically correct." i.e. The stereotype is a probable occurrence in the given situation. According to that definition, I would say so. However, please read below in the Academic section for my qualifiers to this statement.

No, there is certainly a significant percentage that is, but there is a large population that is far from it.

Not entirely. I don't know what other schools are like. But there are planty of partiers and plenty of studious students, too. Football is a huge part of the LSU experience, but its the weekend entertainment. That doesn't discredit the academics. In fact, it pays for some of the academics.

For the majority, yes.
