Fairleigh Dickinson University-Metropolitan Campus Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

Laura

I honestly don't know. If it's the international campus thing then it's totally correct and accurate.

I think that the stereotype of students at DU are that we are rich, snotty, very smart, have had very easy lives, and that we are very secretive. Sometimes I think that people think that we all love the outdoors and are ski bums. Although students at DU may be like this, I think that the population can de described as unique. There are quite a few people that love to hit the slopes, but there are plenty of others that just love to hang around the campus in the winter. Also, there are some rich students, but a large population of the campus is actually attending DU on scholarship or with financial aid.

The stereotype often is that the school is full of rich snobs. This is not the case. Often there are wealth families, but most students are down to earth and their socio-economic background is not apparent.
