What is the stereotype of students at New York University?

Samantha

Hmm. Well, stereotypes according to school - GSPers = generally stupid people, Sternies = asian nation, Tisch = artsy, and I don't really know much about the 10 other schools. Apart from that, everyone's rich and everyone's jewish. Communication majors are stupid.

-All of the men are gay -Everyone is artsy and interested in theatre -People are music snobs -The business students are all Asian

I think NYU is one of the most internally stereotyped universities in the States. My experience was that I sort of had a feel for how the school would be, but it wasn’t until I got to ‘welcome week’ and was not very subtly informed of all of the stereotypes by the desperate attempts of the programming to persuade the incoming freshman that they weren’t true. The classics are that all of the guys are gay, the administration doesn’t care, the classes are really hard, and the school is very, very liberal. I also heard some great stories about housing being unfair and that drugs were the new alcohol on campus.

We're all rich and stuck-up.

Jane

Everyone is into art. The sports teams may as well not exist because they suck. All the guys are gay.

Victor

The guys are all rich, metrosexual, Jewish, spoiled....and pussies. The girls...JAPs, sex-deprived, materialistic, and lucky.

Alex

That we are rich, snooty, coke-snorting assholes. Most people associate NYU with either the artsy students of Tisch or the money grubbers in Stern.

Madeleine

All the guys are gay. All the students are rich. There are a lot of Jewish people. Tisch students are pretentious. Stern students are amoral money mongers. NYU is a wannabe Ivy League.

-many people trying to be "NYC chic" aka live the lives of fictional characters -many hipsters -athletically challenged

Harper

That NYU is full of gays and jews and hipsters. That Stern is made up mostly of asians. That the school is full of people who were rejected from Columbia.
