What is the stereotype of students at Northeastern University?

Ben

Its all about the coop, they are goal driven, they are preparing to be middle management, they are confrontational, they never win the Beanpot

Jess

I think there are less stereotypes about Northeastern Students than about students from other schools, because of its location and because the student population is fairly diverse. Lots of people see NU students as a bunch of rich white kids though.

Reese

Preppy. Females wear a north face jacket and uggs.

Adrienne

No one outside of Boston has ever heard of NU, but around the city, we're supposedly the rowdy kids that take over surrounding neighborhoods. From inside, the stereotypes are the girls were mini skirts, leggings, uggs, and northface jackets and have no brains.

Blake

The only ones i can really think of is that we are the kids who didnt get into BU or BC, but i didnt even apply for either of those and neither did most of my friends.

Hannah

All we do is drink and party and riot after sporting events. Also all the girls are super hot.

Tate

I once heard a BU student say, "Northeastern is where rich parents send their overachieving kids." So I think some stereotypes include deep pockets and an unusual amount of drive for people in college (I think he said that because of co-op, and how a lot of students end up with a career right when they graduate).

Rachel

That the study body is made up of rich white kids who do nothing but get fucked up and watch family guy.

Marie

Frat oriented, rich kids from CT

Abby

A lot of the students seem privileged.
