The Asian one is. I don't feel that UCLA as a whole is superficial...we have just as many superficial people as every other university.
Lindsay
It is true that Asians and Caucasians are two of the major races on campus, but I don't feel that that draws an appropriate picture of the diversity on campus. There are several different ethnic groups represented by these "races" as well as such groups as Persian students, African Americans, various Latino groups. Furthermore, not only do these people come from the United States, but there is also a significant number of students studying here from other countries.
Ryan
none of these are true because UCLA is very diverse and has alot to offer to the student body
Russell
Well....the student body is definitely VERY hot, but not materialistic. It's a public school, and the diversity facilitates an array of character types and interests that make the students fun. The campus is in the heart of Westwood and has easy access to Santa Monica, Hollywood, and anywhere else you might want to go. All the ups and downs of the city of LA can be accessed from UCLA, so definitely not sheltered! Nevertheless, the campus is certainly set apart from dingy areas and is more beautiful than anyone could ever say it is.

they have a basis in fact, but of course you can't make generalizations about such a huge campus population. we have all kinds - the nerds, the jocks, the greeks, etc. there are a million tiny niches each with their own cultures.
Tate
Any stereotypes would be limited to stereotypes within the school (individual student sub-groups), not applied broadly to the student body (as a whole).
Katherine
hahaha... I'd have to say the Caucasian/Asian one is! There seems to be a visibly huge population of Asian students - not to say that it's not a diverse campus. The "nerd" one is tough because beyond highschool, those terms become kind of foggy and less used, we're all nerds essentially because it takes a certain dedication to learning and school to succeed at UCLA, but it's definitely not the same "nerd" you thought of in high school. As for USC, I can admit, I didn't get it, but thats not WHY I chose UCLA.
Harper
Yes, but a lot of things are left out of them. UCLA really has a lot more diversity, you just have to look for it.
Yvette
yes, there are a lot of spoiled rich white and asian students, but there are also quite a few rich spoiled persians. however, not everyone is rich and spoiled. i think people look at UCLA as a place of privilege and forget about the students who worked really hard to get here without being handed everything.
