The stereotype of students at the University of Delaware is of sorority and frat kids. Although I do not think this stereotype is accurate because there are many diverse types of students on campus. There is not just frat and sorority kids, but also geeks and any other type of students.

One stereotype about Delaware is that our school likes to party. But the truth is it's not unusual to stay in on a weekend night! There are always a lot of kids that go out and party a lot in any school. Delaware kids definitely know how to study too, academics are a very important part of your college life at Delaware!

One stereotype about Udel is students like to party but when talking about the average student their personality can really range from anything to jocks and geeks. But the truth is you don't have to party and you want be the odd person out, their is a wide range of activities for you to do and its really what ever you make of it.

The stereotype of students at UD is very much sorority&frat kids. I think this stereotype is accurate, as most of the kids on campus are in some sort of greek life, however, I think that greek life is misinterpreted as merely rich kids getting drunk. The greek organizations on campus do some great things philanthropically that I think many people overlook.

The typical stereo type for the University of Delaware is that the students have a tendency to have big and wild parties. In my personal experience, i would agree with this statement. Most of the students on the weekend do go out to parties; however, the school does provide activities to those who don't go out. The school does offer a number of weekend movies to choose from.

Many students think that we are a party school and drink all the time. While many students do drink, it usually occurs only on the weekends. Since there isn't much to do in a small town like Newark, drinking is often a bonding experience, but nobody really cares if you don't drink.

Common steriostypes are that everyone is from New Jersey and is like Jersey shore

Nicholas

The stereotype of students at the University of Delaware is friendly, outgoing people. When it comes to athletics, there are definitely jocks and such, but the overall outlook of the school population is friendly. Greek life isn't too big here, so the vast majority of students are looking to meet new friends that aren't associated with sports or Greek life. Because of this, students are willing to go out of their way to be friendly and meet new friends in their dorms, classes, dining halls, etc.
