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

I think one of the biggest prevailing stereotypes about Kalamazoo College student is that they are some kind of hipster-activist hybrid. The hipster part comes with any small liberal arts college, but there is no sense of snobbishness about people's tastes and interests. Being at a midwestern college means everyone is warm and friendly. The activism aspect of the stereotype is definitely true. Social justice and volunteer work are integral parts of the Kalamazoo College experience, and there are very few students that don't participate in those spheres.
