They claim we are all party people. In a sense, its true, but we still get our work.

They say everyone here likes to party, and for the most part I would say this is pretty accurate.

There is a stereotype that there are many Greeks at LSU which is true but also a little exaggerated. We go to a school with over 30,000 students and about 14{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of that population is greeks. I have seen many people leave LSU because they feel like it is too fratty, but it is all about who you surround yourself with. I have met so many people just like me at this school that it was impossible not to make friends. It just takes time and even though you may not know anyone the first day (like me) you will know tons of people by the end of your first week here.

The common stereotype of LSU students is that LSU is the "Sexiest College of 2012". I do not see this but there are more important things about LSU.

The stereotype in my opinion is Greek life and lots of partying. Yeah, Greek life and partying are big at LSU, and they mix well most of the time. I used to really dislike the idea of Greek life here because I thought there was so much pressure to drink, party, and go nuts. However, after a close friend of mine entered a sorority, I realized that certain Greek houses do not have partying as a priority as some others do. Some Greek houses just focus on what they were meant to focus on: service and a "sisterhood" or "brotherhood." They focus on supporting each other and helping each other grow as college students and as individuals. And yeah, partying is very common, but only if you decide to make that part of your life. If you surround yourself with people who party a lot, you are more likely to party a lot. But like someone else said on his review of LSU, not EVERYONE parties. Some of us choose to have fun in other ways, and we are perfectly happy with that. Everyone chooses to enjoy their time differently. We go to the Parade Grounds (this huge field of grass we have in the middle of campus), and we play sports. Sometimes, we watch movies or just chill out in the lobby of our residential community. We go get yogurt at a near yogurt place. We go listen to and watch bands play at the Varsity Theatre really close to campus. We work out a lot. There is SO much to do at LSU. You can find an activity for almost any interest!

There are pretty much a lot of stereotypes here at LSU. You have the Fraternity and Sorority kids, stoners, anime freaks, nerds etc... but it really isn't a bad thing. Everyone keeps to themselves and hangs out with people with whom have the same qualities and personality with.

I think that the major stereotype of students at my school is that of frat kids and a lot of partying. This stereotype is accurate to a certain degree. For example, there are a lot of fraternities and sororities at my school and there is a lot of partying especially because of the football atmosphere. However, my school is also a place where students can gain a great education. From my personal experience, I can say that my school offers a lot of choices as far as whether you are interest in joining a fraternity or sorority, doing research, studying abroad, etc. You can customize your college experience. As an added bonus, my school has a lot of pride and a beautiful campus.

The stereotype that students from other universities have about LSU students is that we like to party and drink a lot. This may be accurate but from what I have learned from visiting other campuses over the last four years is that students at LSU don't party any more than students from other campuses. We do tailgate for sporting events better than anyone else and the southern, cajun culture that surrounds LSU is incredible.
