What is the stereotype of students at University of Georgia? Is this stereotype accurate?

Alex

No stereotype. A huge blend of every type imaginable.

Jennifer

Most of the girls dress alike..leggings, boots and tunics in winter and shorts, oversized t-shirts and running shoes in the summer. Yes, it's accurate!

Frat kids, Jocks,

The stereotype of people at my school is that we are all party animals. In 2011, UGA was the number one party school in America and was the number two party school in America in 2012. That is not true. The party scene is big, but it is easily avoidable.

The stereotypical UGA student is involved in a sorority or fraternity and out partying every night. However, we are also the number one hipster school as well, so in all honesty, we possess a wide variety of students here. You don't have to be involved in Greek Life to do well here.

A common stereotype about UGA is that everyone parties and drinks. Most people do go out a lot, but there are people here that keep school work as their priority.

A common stereotype of UGA students is that they're all in a fraternity or sorority. That's not exactly true, but quite a lot of students are involved in Greek life. So many, in fact, that if you're not into that sort of thing, you can feel a bit alienated.

One of the major stereotypes I have encountered is that many people think that because UGA is such a large campus, with such a vast Greek system, it must be a major party school. However, this isn't the case. While it is true that the Greek system is huge and does throw parties on football weekends, there are so many other things to do on campus that partying is by no means the normal weekend activity. From the rock wall at Ramsey to local rafting trips, there are countless opportunities to explore Athens and have fun with friends without partying on campus.

I think the stereotype of UGA students is that all we care about is partying and football. That, however is far from the truth. My roommate and I hardly ever go to parties, and she studies a lot. While students may enjoy a party and a game, we work hard to keep our grades up to par.
