What is the stereotype of students at University of Mary Washington?

Megan

the girls are all lesbians, there are no guys, the parties suck, and the people are all socially awkward

Blake

Homogenous student body, not a party school, students tend to clique together, preppy

Alex

We are all white girls.

Michelle

That we are a suitcase school and that people like to go home on the weekends.

Mallory

Well one common misconception is always that it is an all girls school. False! I suppose the only stereotype I can come up with is that we're all the same, not very diverse.

Sarah

Many people say that UMW isn't diverse enough.

Melissa

that it's closed off from the community. that nothing goes on at UMW.

Connie

Some stereotypes are that a lot of UMW students go home on the weekends because some say there is not much to do. People might also think that since there is no football team that the sports aren't that great at UMW.

Beth

That the student body population is all-female; a stigma created from the former years of UMW being the women's school of UVA. Also, a large stereotype that all the students are white, with little to no diversity on campus.

Paige

A lot of people think that UMW is still all girls or at least mostly girls. I guess that some people still believe that a lot of "preps" go to UMW.
