Wealthy/limited diversity

hot girls go here, we live in the ghetto

As you have probably read from other reviews, we are stereotyped as a bunch of snotty rich kids from Long Island. I personally only have a handful of friends from Long Island here, none of which I would consider anywhere near snotty. A great deal of my friends are from New England. Regardless of where we are from, SHU students are really friendly and helpful to eachother.

SHU is often stereotyped as a total Long Island school. Take it from a Bostonian, there is a place for everyone =) We all coexist harmoniously and it makes the NY/Boston rivalry that much more fun and exciting, no comments on the Superbowl. People also ask if we are a suitcase school-not at all! There is a TON to do everyday and every weekend, so get involved. You'll want to stick around. Your friends will too! Underage drinking is a problem across the country. I don't think SHU falls into the category of more than any other school. We are a dry campus, so stricter rules fall on campus grounds and offenders-this shouldn't be a surprise! One thing I think SHU really excels in is promoting a lot of various activities for students to participate in-partying is not the only weekend option!
