What is the stereotype of students at Whitman College?

will

Everyone is an affluent, white, hippie from the suburbs somewhere in the Northwest.

Matt

Well Whitman students generally get labeled as outdoorsy and friendly people who error on the side of being ridiculously liberal.

Andy

Environmental, frisbee-loving, nerdy, hippies

Gabrielle

hippies liberal living in a bubble

Charlie

That we're little ADD and very accademically focussed, perhaps young for our ages, but love school. That we live in a bubble. Oh- and we have trouble with crossing the street.

grace

Whitman students are stereotypically "crunchy" -- hippie-esque, environmentally conscious, outdoorsy, etc. They are also generally friendly, genuine and world aware people. Unfortunately, Whitman students are also stereotypically white, upper-middle class and from the west coast.

Mandy

The biggest Whitman stereotypes are that everyone is super hippie and outdoorsy--and that everyone walks around barefoot.

Jesse

There's a stereotype that Whitman students are all VERY environmentally conscious and that everyone's liberal.

Alex

Nerdy, liberal, outdoorsy

Aaron

Whitman students are, in three words, reduced to "white, upper-class hippies."
