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

Kaitlyn

People think that SJU is filled with white, upper-class rich kids. As with any school, there are some people that fit the stereotype, but not all do. Yes, there are some kids that go here that are from wealthy families (and most of the students here are white). However, not everyone here is. There are many kids here that are from a middle-class background and there are many kids that are going here on a scholarship.

Many Caucasian well-to-do students that come from middle or upper class families. The majority of girls are known as being preppy and many of the boys are considered "bros."

I think it is accurate-most of the students who go to school here come from private Catholic high schools.
