Stereotype -- a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea. In knowing this, I'll tell you the typical "stereotypes" of Prairie View A & M University. It is a party school centered around marijuana, alcohol, and sex; the STI and HIV/AIDS statistics are at an alarming high number; and Greeks believing they are superior to everyone else.

The stereotypes that our college has is the dress code. Basically talking about the students who dress casual with collar shirts, slacks, nice pair of dress shoes vs. the students who wear baggy jeans, cargo shorts, tennis shoes, sagging to wear your boxers are showing. What they say about that is the students who dress presentable get a better internship positions. Is it true, it's a 50/50 on that subject because the students that doesn't dress up do dress up for interviews, business days, and class presentations.
