Northeastern students are partiers, they riot after sporting events, they aren't as smart or motivated as students at other Boston schools

We are respected individuals in the workplace, but our reputation sometimes differs from location to location. To local residents in the Back Bay as well as up on "the Hill" (Mission Hill), we are a general nuisance. Most residents believe or sole reason we are enrolled at the university is to make a noise violation of some sort. Boston Police Department always assumes the worst every time the Red Sox or Patriots win and line or campus with anti-riot measures. Otherwise, we are generally liked by our peers and by the business in the area because we offer cheap labor through coop and business through purchasing. Post-graduates are becoming more well liked in the Boston-area as well as the country as the school is becoming more selective, which helps all of us.

1. That we want to go right into the real world and therefore miss that college-y step of having fun and sleeping in late.
2. When you're on co-op it doesn't feel like you're in school - you are not tied to the campus.

I really can't think of any stereotypes, we just chill.
Ashley
That we love the fact were in school for 5 years

They are not as serious as students from other colleges in MA

All the students are pretty flamboyant... I don't think it's intentional but damn, do we love our name brand designers. Versace, D&G, Armani, and so so many more brands are always on display on campus whether its finals week or the week back from vacation.

A lot of people in Boston think Northeastern girls wear Uggs, have Coach bags, and go tanning until they are orange. Students who live off-campus are known for getting drunk and being loud.

There is not one whole stereotype for NU or the students. You have a lot of cliques though. Similar to the ones in high school, only these cliques are much larger. You have the jocks, greek life, skaters, social activists, etc.

Since our parents time, Northeastern has always had a bad reputation. It was dirty rundown and located in a bad part of the city, bordering Roxbury. The truth is that the school has been revamped over the past 10 or so years and it is a safe and modern campus.
