There are many stereotypes of college kids. People watch movies, read books, and see news about the "typical" college kid. People who didn't go to college don't know what it's actually like and stereotype us college kids a bunch of different ways.
1. All college students party every night.
This is one of the biggest stereotypes. I can honestly say I can count how many parties I've been to in college on one hand, as can many of my friends. Some students party a lot, but I don't know anyone who parties every night. This is just irrational.
2. College students sleep all the time.
This is one of my favorites. Do people really think that we sleep all the time? I'm lucky to get 8 hours once a week.
3. College kids eat so unhealthy.
I have friends who are vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, and who eat clean. More than one of each, actually. College kids are seriously worried about their diets.
4. They're all in sororities/fraternities.
I have a handful of friends in a sorority/fraternity but most of them aren't. Most of them don't have the time or the money to make a commitment like that.
5. All college kids wear sweats to class.
Sure, sometimes we all want to wear out sweatpants but not everyday. I don't know anyone who always dresses down for class. It's nice to look nice!
Again, there are MANY stereotypes of college students. Not all college students fall into them. In fact, not even most fall into these stereotypes. My college experience definitely hasn't been stereotypical and most people I know can say the same.
