In general I think the stereotypes are that Notre Dame students are rich, stuck up, and smart. The stereotype about the University itself is that we care a lot about football and that it is an academically challenging school and it is diffficult to get in.

Many students feel that the Notre Dame community is not diverse: Notre Dame students are primarily Catholic, upper-class, and white. Also, the Princeton Review often remarks that an "Alternative Lifestyle" is, in fact, not an alternative at Notre Dame. The Notre Dame community is prejudiced against black, gay, and liberal students.
