New York University Top Questions

That they all have a lot of money and can spend it however/wherever they want

The business school students have the stereotype that they all wear suits to class and will be super rich by the time they graduate. The performing arts school kids students are thought of as starving artists and will not be very successful in life. It is thought that everyone else is going to be in debt and will not be as rich as the business school students. It is thought that everyone at NYU knows the Olsen twins.

NYU students are artsy, there is a large gay population, we're poor (as perhaps, all the college kids are), more girls than guys, Stern kids are ultra-competitive, Tisch kids are too sophisticated for their own good,

Its unfriendly, its competitive, full of artsy crazies, full of druggies, no school spirit

students are stuck up, over privileged, pretentious, the school is very competitive which gets in the way of camaraderie among its students the amount of work is unbelievable.

The stereotypes depend on which NYU school you attend. Sternies are known for being conservative, socially inept, boring, really smart people who wear suits to school everyday and only care about Wall Street [I am allowed to say this because I am in Stern :)] Tisch people are known for being super artsy fartsy, dramatic, weird and gay. Those are the two best know schools at NYU. The other schools fall in the inbetween category of sterotypes: rich, stuck up, fashionable, but still pretty typical young adults.

We're all beautiful, too cool for school, and partyers. We're hipsters, and wealthy artist-types, who care little about learning and all about culture.

Excentric

The ones I've heard most frequently are Gay YU and NYJew. And then there are the stereotypes that exist about students in each school: Tisch kids are emo, suicidal, starving artists who whine and complain about life, Stern kids are cold, heartless, and money loving, GSP kids are stupid, and the Gallatin kids are in Gallatin just to skip out on the core curriculum classes.
