I really didn't think there were that many stereo types like some other schools in Colorado, which is partly why I chose CSU.

Liz

I dont think there are stereotypes at CSU. When compared to CU, many people consider everyone there tree huggers and hippies... but at CSU there are a lot of students interested in our veternarian program or business program, so generally its just an accumulation of smart studious individuals. I guess I would say its not as diverse as some other schools, but overall I dont really notice stereotypes here at CSU.

Christina

-CSU puts more money into Athletics than Arts or classes -CSU students love the outdoors/outdoor activities -CSU students have a steady rate of parties/underage drinking -CSU students are in college to "have the college experience," not necessarily to learn

Well i think a stereotype of most college students is that they party too much. This can be true for some people but it's not like we party 24/7...we actually do study and socialize in other settings besides parties.

Annette

Some stereotypes about CSU students is that they are not intelligent, they are big partiers and a lot of them don't care about academics.
