Wake Forest University Top Questions

Somewhat. I would only agree with the stereotypes to an extent. Obviously most of the students are smart due to who the admissions staff lets in the shcool. As for being preppy, yea a lot of people wear sun dresses to football games, but there are also a lot of people who don't. I would say for every preppy person there is someone the exact opposite. I am southern, but the majority of the friends I have made at Wake are from above the Mason-Dixon line.

Partly

they are for some students but certainly not for others, not for the majority

I would say some of them are accurate -- we're a pretty preppy group, but we're not all conservative, definitely not all Baptist, and although most of us are smart...the curriculum here kicks our butts.

Yes and No...Everyone at Wake is very well-rounded and involved. They also all seem to come from similar backgrounds - at least in the social circles I run in, which is mostly Greek and Athletic Teams. The kids come from all over the East Coast, but definitely hang out with people from similar places.

I think that both of the stereotypes listed are accurate.

it seemed that way coming into the school, but after being here for 3 years, and getting to know many people on a personal level, many of these stereotypes diminish. but, overall, yes i think they are accurate as a whole.

Somewhat

much less accurate than how they are perceived from the outside

Somewhat; of course we're smart, but not everyone is fake or stuck up. Not everyone is rich, either. Those that are fake are just insecure. NOT EVERYONE IS SOUTHERN!
