We asked Andy...
What is the stereotype of students at your school?
That we are open-minded and diverse, which is true. That we are stuck-up and wealthy for going to an expensive private school, which is by and large false-- Knox simply extends gratuitous financial aid to all types of students.
That we are stuck in the Knox bubble and disconnected from the real world. This is true to some extent because most students stay on our small campus most of the time, however, the Knox curriculum emphasizes learning about the world outside from many distinct angles and disciplines so as to contruct a "wholer" understanding of what we're interested in. Though we may act somewhat disconnected while at Knox, I would argue that this type of in-depth education serves to provide us with a better approach to the outside world once graduated.
