According to the people there, what would be some stereotypes, good and bad about the men and women at your HBCU? I just want to compare and see how much different our schools really are. They can be 99% true stereotypes, or those that are perceived but not really that true. But just let us know what you always hear people around your campus and at other campuses say.
For FAMU.....
Men:
-Take at least five years to graduate (hmm....can't say it's that far off)
-Think they are "players" according to many women (some of em do of course)
-Are thugs, think they are thugs, or have a lot of **** tendencies to be in college (can be very true, especially with freshmen)
-The Greek men are seen as being the "best on campus" or elite (according to many females)
-Greeks, and sometimes dance troupes and modeling troupes get more play than the athletes (usually true)
-Most dudes with extremely nice (or hooked up) cars are either "dope boys" or spoiled kids (hmm....pretty accurate)
-Most dudes around campus and at clubs are VERY "thirsty" or aggressive in their approach with women (very accurate)
Women:
-Freshmen girls are usually flips/freaks/loose/easy (hmm....somewhat accurate, at least to an extent)
-The best ones to "wife up" usually are the ones you never see at the club or doin too much on campus (can be true in some cases but not always)
-Are a lot more into social status than economic...meaning they'd rather date a Greek dude than one who has a lotta money (very true)
Both:
-Always complain about financial aid bein late, even when it's not the school's fault (very true)
-Always talkin down on FAMU and don't have too much pride......unless you go to FSU or another HBCU, then it's a whole different story (VEEEEEEEEEERY true)

Those involved in SGA, are only involved b/c they are poli sci majors or interested in being Greek. {not 100% true} Guys from Cali are pretty boys. {mostly TRUE} Guys from Alabama are the most mannerable. {TRUE} Guys from Miami are freaks and players. {maybe} Half of our students are dopeboys, dreadheads, strippers, and video girl wannabes AND half are very business-minded, ambitious, quite conservative. {Most people seem to have both sides in them if you ask me!} I would tell all freshmen to enjoy your first year. Go out as much as you can, but remain focused. People don't expect much from you as a freshman, and no one is really watching your actions. After freshman year, everyone wants to know what you're doing, interested in doing, and going to be doing. Respect yaself, but have fun. TRUST NO ONE... remember you have just met everyone.
