Smithies are sometimes thought to be brainy and talkative in class, bordering on know-it-all-ness. Intimidatingly intellectual. Sexually frustrated because it's a women's college. Or, conversely, all gay because it's a women's college. Very feminist, study a lot. I think older generations think of Smithies as women from well-off families who wear pearls and sweater sets.
That its nerdy and full of lesbians, or full of sheltered girls who can't face the real world so they go to an all woman's school
Smithies are labeled as everything from pearl-wearing prep school girls to spike-collar wearing lesbians. For the most part we are known as a progressive school that combines tradition with women's opportunity.
Smith is stereotypically very gay, liberal and intellectual.
The stereotypes are that everyone's gay and everyone studies all the time
That we are either gay, bisexual, questioning, transgendered, or feminists. We are liberal and ambitious. We are extremely academically motivated and our professors ask a lot from us. We're stuck-up or snobby, pretentious, exclusive. Possibly very rich. There is also the Smith "that girl". The one who ALWAYS raises her hand with something to say - relevant or not - and never seems to know when to let the professor (or other students) speak.
One that I know of is that we are all gay or something that is not heterosexual.

When people hear that I go to Smith they always ask about the lesbians. They assume that I am a lesbian and everyone on campus is a lesbian!

That we are all gay. That we are all uber liberal hippies. That we are all loud and obnoxious. But mostly, that we are all gay.
