College Review Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate? It's true that students work hard, and can sometimes be a bit cocky, but in reality, even the athletes are smart kids who deserve to be here. The diversity is real, at least ethnically, racially, and geographically, but there is very little deviation from the staunchly liberal majority, which can at times make discussions on campus very one-sided.
