If there is any collective stereotype on my campus it may be because the school is in Detroit, the students may not be as intelligent as others. I attend Wayne State University but many hear about University of Michigan or Michigan State University so sometimes that stereotype exists.

The common stereotype of students at my school is that we are slackers because we go to school in Detroit. However, most of us are motivated to go to school and do something amazing with our lives.

Wayne State University is so diverse that I really couldn't put a stereotype to it. I've meet students like myself going into the science field and those who are in the art and music programs. Wayne State has a variety of awesome programs that anyone can fit in there.

The common stereotype at my school is that the majority of students are commuter students. It is true that my school is a commuter university however a fairly large amount of students do live on campus when you consider the size of the student body.

The most common stereotype at Wayne State University is that the campus is very unsafe for students. This stereotype is true, but only to a point. The Wayne State campus is no different from any other campus because you should always be aware of your safety no matter where you are. There are many sources on campus that provides students with immediate help and campus police are everywhere so you can walk around knowing that help will be there if needed.

Wayne State University offers over 400 different programs, varying from performing and communication arts to medicine or social work.. The school is very diverse, not only in it's students, but also in its degree or certificate granting programs.

The stereotype of students here at WSU is black. Everyone believes everyone is black and black usually get the term gang/ganster/mob attached to it. Personally there is a lot of different ethnicities here, mainly black, white and indian. Just because WSU is in the middle of Detroit, does not mean it is a place where you're going to get mugged. You just have to know your surroundings and be aware of them.
