University of North Carolina at Greensboro Top Questions

The general stereotype of my school is that it is a liberal art school and has people that are into several different things. We have a lot of music and art students that frequently express their opinion around campus everyday by playing music or having social gatherings. There is also a big stereotype that we a lot of male homosexual students and that we are an all girl school because it is over 70 percent.

The main stereotype is that UNCG is 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} women and 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} men. Half of the men that attend UNCG are homosexual. There is also a variety of races that go to UNCG. I agree with most of these statements, although I think all of these statements are exaggerated more than they should be.

There are not too many stereotypes that go along with UNCG. The most big one I think as many people think it is more of a "white" school. On the other hand, I walk around campus almost everyday and see many diverse races that are combined together like a "salad bowl." As far as Jocks go, we don't have many due to the lack of sports which we make up for in all the various clubs we have. Also, Every school has Geeks because it is a college people! The one place they are applauded instead of teased.

Students at UNC-Greensboro usually get a reputation for being flowery hipster kids who endlessly haunt the music/art buildings. Needless to say this stereotype is true for a good number of students here, but there's enough diversity of thought on campus that all social groups are represented in a more or less equal fashion. People resembling stoners can be found in the College Ave dorms, Psuedo-geeks can be found a bit farther up in North Spencer, a dormitory for the honors college students. Jocks are usually found on the quad near the sports building and greek organizations, and hipsters are abound in the Music and Art building. UNCG is good for having a laid back atmosphere from semester to semester, and doesn't promote one social group above another.

Since The University of North Carolina is such a diverse university, there is not one stereotype that pertains to the students here. Some of the stereotypes that have been associated with this university include there being a large number of homosexuals, a liberal school and a lack of school spirit. I would categorize all these stereotypes as inaccurate. As previously stated, this university is so diverse; there are so many different types of people, with different races, ethnicity, beliefs and etc. As far as school spirit is concerned, there is definitely not a lack of that.

As a transfer student, I really had not heard very many stereotypes about UNCG, other than the fact that there were supposed to be a large number of homosexual students. This is not necessarily true. Since I am a transfer I have seen two different college environments, and UNCG is a truly diverse and dynamic campus. There are individuals from all different backgrounds, generations, and walks of life. I have not met two people that remind me of each other. The range of age of individuals surprised me a bit, but being a science major, there are many post baccalaureate and adult students. I think this creates a more well-rounded environment and you will definitely leave being able to say you met many different, and amazing people. You have the opportunity to learn from each individual a different approach to academia. I really believe the student population of UNCG is one of the best random assortment of people, listen to their stories about how different people got here and you'll see what I mean!

We are stereotyped as a highly Liberal school. Meaning we have a lot of left wing minded students and faculty at the University. I don't believe this stereotype is completely true! Though there are many Democratic/ Left wing minded students, I have found through my three and half years on campus that there are just as many Republican/right wing students and thoughts present on campus.

UNCG is one college in North Carolina that doesn't have a very strong sterotype. People may know UNCG as a "black" school, or a school with a large amount of homosexuals but really, it is the most diverse University in the state. When I walk around campus I see a differnt type of person everyday.

I have not noticed a stereotype about students at UNCG. There is a wide variety of students all with various interests. There is not a football team so there aren't as many "jocks" as there would be at a school with a football team. Overall, I feel that the UNCG student body is friendly, open minded, and willing to make new friends.

I don't believe that one stereotype would fit here. We have students from many different backgrounds. Different race, ethnicity, religion, orientation...you name it and there is probably someone here who is like that.
