What is the stereotype of students at Smith College?

Caroline

that we're all gay, that we can't dress ourselves, that we're really intense

Chris

People seem to think that Smithies are either wealthy, uppity and conservative or gay, socially liberal hippies. We are known for studying a lot and being a little nerdy and, sometimes, for being strong leaders with a lot of "Type A" personalities.

We're all man-hating, feminazi lesbians. Or, if the stereotyper is older, we're domestic, pearl-wearing future wives of powerful men.

Miranda

People say that Smith is a place that breeds radical feminists, and that Smith students are mostly all lesbians. People also say that Smith is just the place that rich girls with pearls hang out until they get married. Clearly, there are some different accounts going on...

Sarah

A lot of people stereotype Smith students as being predominantly gay. I also think that people tend to think that women's colleges are full of either man-hating ultra feminists or prissy little princesses.

Kat

THE LESBIAN RUMORS ARE TRUE Very sexually oriented and fun.
