What is the stereotype of students at Mount Holyoke College?

Nina

We're all lesbians, we're desperate, the guys in the other colleges tend to think we're easy.

Charlie

That we are really preppy, really driven, over motivated, over competitive, over achievers.

Dorothy

That we're either all lesbians or going to become one after the first semester. That the straight students are so desperate for a date that we'll do anything.

Brett

some stereotypes... smart..motivated...gay

Kristen

We are stereotyped as being a very homosexual community or as being desperate for guys. I think that there is somewhat of a divide between the students. We are also looked at as a very intellectual group of women.

Whitney

The stereotypes are awfully conflicted for Mt. Holyoke. I think people assume you are a butch lesbian who plays rugby or a pearl wearing Daddy's girl who rides for the equestrian team. Does not make much sense trying to squish both identities into one student.

Angela

Lipstick lesbians. Desperate skanky straight girls. Nerds.

Caitlin

Lesbian, snobby
