What is the stereotype of students at University of Wisconsin-Madison?

Phil

Students from Wisconsin are thought to be "sconnie" which has its own stereotypes. Sconnie kids love to hunt, drink lots of beer, and are a little rough around the edges. The other stereotype is for the out-of-state students who mainly comes from the east and west coast "coasties" They are thought to be very wealthy and even more stuck up. The Wisconsin student body as a whole are seen as huge partyers. They are viewed as heavy drinkers and big time partyers. Wisconsin students are also seen as very intellectual and it is a tough school. Wisconsin is a huge football school, which a growing basketball fan base.
