What is the stereotype of students at University of North Carolina at Asheville? Is this stereotype accurate?

One UNCA Ambassador jokes that there are two types of students at UNCA: those who are barefoot and those who wear shoes. The students who go around barefoot chill in the smokers section, slack off and play music a lot. The students who wear shoes are taking a million hours, involved in a lot of clubs and have a lot of plans for life after graduation. All stereotypes do have some truth. There are UNCA students who get high every day but most students do not. There are a lot of type A students but not all UNCA students are. Most students fall somewhere in the middle of these stereotypes. We have all sorts of students: jocks, frat kids, stoners, geeks and students who do not fit into any of these groups. If you come to UNCA you will meet a lot of other students: some who fit into the stereotype of what you would expect and some who are completely different then it.
