Some stereotypes about C of C, the college itself, include that it's a party school only, that the professors are very laid back, and that the classes are small in size. One stereotype about C of C students is that the students all come from rich backgrounds. Another sterotype is that the students are always at the beach, not in their classes. One last stereotype is the artsy-free spirit of the students; meaning: we are all highly interested in some aspect of art, whether it be shown by our choice of major, or in that we attend more local concerts, theatre shows, and mic-nights than the average student.
