A bunch of pseudo-environmentally-conscious-slacklining kids, who when a single a ray sun hits the quad flock to the blankets and disc. Another stereotype is that CC students are always five dollars short, playing down their privilege and money for better or worse depending on where you look at it from.

People who think about Colorado College generally have an image of a white and rich guy or girl with dreadlocks in patched-up homemade clothing with an entire closet full of backpacking and rockclimbing gear, who goes to every rally or political/environmetal speaker within 100 miles of Colorado Springs with Nalgene in hand, composts their food, and smokes a ridiculous amount of pot, while being utterly driven in their studies.

The stereotypical Colorado College student is white, upper middle-class, and outdoorsy. We are open-minded for the most part, though I do feel that sometimes this can be a facade. In my own experience, this was most clear during Drag Day, when students (including myself) dressed up for the occasion and were gawked at by most and even sneered at by some fellow students. Despite this instance, I still do feel comfortable with being myself/doing what I want--CC isn't perfect, yet I do feel that it is much more open-minded than the average college.
