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

People may think that we are a bunch of New England "townies." that may be somewhat accurate, but in truth, people here are pretty studious, especially for this type of college. If forced to type-cast, and make sweeping generalizations of a varied student body, I'd say that students fall into three basic categories: Non-traditional students, local yokels (the majority,) and nerds in T-shirts. (And Pajamas.) The liberal arts environment probably portends us to be a bunch of whacky, unusual people/ hippies. That is certainly the case. We have diversity on this campus to be proud of, for sure.
