JuicyCampus.com does not need to run people's lives. People need to get over the garbage that losers post on it just for some attention.

The stereotype for a typical SMU student is rich, beautiful, and parties/drinks a lot. Designer jeans, purses, sunglasses, iPhone, BMW, etc. Girls and guys are always dressed up to go to class. Mommy and Daddy pay for everything. Rich snobs, materialistic, and fake. SMU is known as "the bubble" because everyone is so rich.

Some NEGATIVE stereotypes about SMU students are basically that we are all rich and stuck up party people. However, in my time there, I have not met ONE unfriendly person.
