That they are stuck up frat boys who only care about themselves. That they are rude and ridiculous in public places. That they treat women like shit and are the ultimate alpha males.

A lot of people think that the campus is overrun by either engineers or farmers. Also that we live in a cornfield.

Well I wouldn't say that there is steretypes on Illinois students in general, more like stereotypes on "minorities." Things such as "Tacos & Tequlila" are occurring on campus.

Some stereotypes I've heard are that U of I students think they're better than others because U of I is beginning to have more of a prestigious reputation. I feel that U of I students don't necessarily think they're better than others we are just proud to say that we go to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The sports atomosphere is great, too. Even if our team isnt that great, the Illini Nation still stands strong and supports all athletics in any circumstance.

Big Ten party school, huge Greek life, generally intelligent people for a midwest public school, decent athletics
