Rich, spoiled are the main stereotypes. Others include dumb (can't pay their own bills, etc.) Lots of New Yorkers.

Ryan

QU students, in general, are thought to be big party-ers, drinkers, club-goers. There seems to be 2 extremes - the frat/sorority kids and the completely academic, studious kids. Even though greek life isn't huge (only a couple frats and couple sororities), it's becoming a bigger deal. It's a very appearance-driven campus. Most students are very concerned with their appearance, with the most expensive brands, with looking as trendy and put-together as possible. Abercrombie models and guidos are prevalent; Uggs, Coach, and NorthFace are worn by alllllmost everyone. There is an in-between type of student who refuses to buy into the trends, fads, and typical QU culture. They're hard to come by but they're growing in number....
