Stereotypes about Miami and it's students is that everyone here is rich, wears J.Crew, spends daddy's money like it grows on trees, drinks all the time, and that everyone is a dumb sorority girl/ frat guy. People who don't go to Miami think that we strut around thinking we are the shit.

Miami University carries similar stereotypes to that of any Greek system. Such stereotypes include the belief that all girls are super hott, all guys are in fraternities and drink excessively, and everyone is conservative, white and rich.

Channing

Before I came to Miami, I didn't know much about the university, and I was essentially dead set against it. It was in Ohio and I was pretty sure I wanted to go to school out of state. Also, I had heard that Miami was a school full of snobs, people who all dressed the same, talked the same and were, pretty much, the same. They were perfect, or at least they seemed to be, and perfection is hard to measure up to. It was called the J Crew U--a place peopled with popped collars, Northface Jackets, Ugg boots and the latest one I have heard, "Barbies and Kens." More importantly, Miami is known as a party school-and I was not a partier.

There is the typically J.CREW U stereotype that I heard a lot before I came to Miami but the truth is, yes there is a lot of J.Crew but not everyone wear J.Crew or looks like they just walked out of a J.Crew store. I feel majority of the student population has there own individual style.

Dylan

The most commonly known stereotype is that we are J-Crew U. We're all preppy, stuck up, upper class kids. We lack diversity and have an abundance of fratastic boy and snobby sorority sisters.

Every college and university has stereotypes, and Miami is no exception. Often Miami students are thought of in terms of a stereotypical or homogenous look. Sometimes dubbed "J. Crew U" by outsiders, people may tend to think that all kids dress one way or dress up for class.
