Im not really sure what stereotypes about CSU and CSU students. I guess if you were to ask CU students they would say that they are not smart enough to get in to CU. I would over all say there is the stereotype that kids here just love to party, ski/snowboard, and do what most college kids are doing.

All anyone does at CSU is drink and party and there is nothing else to do in Fort Collins.

CSU has this image that it is the "easy" school to get into and that everyone who applies gets accepted. Generally it is the students from Boulder that advertise this stereotype though.
