About This Quiz

For most people, college is the next step toward becoming a better, smarter and more well-rounded individual. It's a time of educational growth, making great friends and participating in all kinds of sports and activities. But for other people, college was about singing, dancing and drinking at parties!

The college life is different for everyone, and it really comes down to your priorities as a person. If you were majoring in a difficult degree that required many different classes, then you probably had studying at the top of your list. But if you wanted your college years to be fun and adventurous, then maybe you focused on hanging out with friends more than reading books. College wasn't just about what you did, though, because it's also about who you were as a person. Maybe you were a coffee addict who needed Starbucks as much as oxygen to live, or you could have been someone who slept through anything and everything. But no matter what your personality was like during college, we all have a specific stereotype that has shaped us into the people we are today! So, to find out what that fun stereotype is, take our memorable college quiz now!
