I don't know.

To my knowledge, there is no stereotype of students at this school.

I hear a lot about how VCU is too Liberal and that all the students that go there are 'hippies' or social extremist, but there is a variety of opinions and types of students.

Artsy kids, and yes, it is very accurate but in a good way

the students in fraternity tend to act like the best students

The running stereotype among VCU students is that most of us like to party and do drugs on campus and skip class all of the time. There are also stereotypes of hipsters and stereotypes of wild members of fraternities as well as sororities. While these stereotypes may hold true for some students, it is not an accurate portrayal of the students at VCU. Most VCU students don't party and drink every night and the majority of students don't drink at all. VCU students are actually very hard working and go to class, and the Greek life at VCU is also well upstanding. VCU is very different than the stereotypes that try to define it.

The kids here party hard but worker harder

Hipsters! VCU is infamous for the allegedly large hipster population due to our nationally internationally famous art program. But what people don't realize is that while yes there are hipsters, they are not the majority by far. What they say about VCU's diversity is 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} true. Once you're here, there honestly aren't very many "stereotypes".

Being the number 1 public art school in the county, VCU students are seen largely as the art kids and hipsters. However VCU is actually very diverse.
