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

One stereotype is smart, which is accurate, everyone here is smart, typically by way of hard work and passion. Another stereotype is rich, that is probably true for half of the students? It depends on what you deem to be "rich", I guess. But pretty much everyone is kind, so what does it matter how much money they have? Another stereotype is "democratic" or "liberal", there are certainly a lot of people here with that political outlook, but if you don't have that outlook you'll still fit in just fine, so long as you aren't hateful (this goes for all political or religious affiliations). Our unofficial motto here is "you do you", if you come to visit for a day you'll probably hear at least three separate students say it.
