What is the stereotype of students at your school?

Lisa

Bates has a reputation for being a tough academic school where the kids are as friendly as they come. A relaxed atmosphere and the playful nature of the students make Bates a very friendly place.

Heather

Bates is thought of as a pretty difficult school, both to get into and with a demanding work load. It's known as a very challenging school, but those who are really engaged in classes always do well.

Doug

I think the biggest stereotype at Bates is that everyone is a pot-smoking hippie. Other stereotypes about Bates students is that they are very nice, helpful, and generally laid back people. The stereotype of Bates is that it is far removed from anything and in the middle of nowhere.
