That they girls are unattractive and that the student body is not racially diverse and that the school is oddly conservative

One stereotype of Notre Dame students is that they are all spoiled rich kids who get everything from mommy and daddy.

Most people (especially guys) come in to Notre Dame thinking that girls here are unattractive.

The biggest stereotype is that ND students are only the following: white, upper-class, goal-obsessed students. Yes, of course there are people here who are like that. However, there is actually more diversity of thought than I would have expected. Of course if you stay with one clique and never expand your group of friends, you will see what you want to see. Notre Dame has taught me to accept and consider others' positions more carefully though, not a thing a homogenous student body normally does.

Jocks, preppy, snobby, really ritch, really smart, ugly girls, jerky guys, conservative

There is also a belief that the Notre Dame population is almost completely white.

Notre Dame is known as THE best Catholic university in the United States. The typical student is white, athletic, rich, crazy about sports, and a legacy (had at least one parent graduate from Notre Dame). The campus is one of the most beautiful in the country, though it is located in South Bend, IN, which happens to be the snowiest and least exciting cities in the state.

I think there's a stereotype that most ND kids are suburban, wealthy, catholic school kids who did it all in high school and will some day be investment bankers.

I'd start with the assumption that everyone is Irish. And Catholic. And white. And really wealthy. Not to mention self-centered and bitchy.

Notre Dame is stereotyped as a university for Catholic, conservative, hard working students, usually from the Midwest.
