tech stereotypes

There are a lot of stereotypes I've noticed at college. i don't think too many of them had to do with the south or georgia tech in particular but they always stood out to me because they were so abnormal that i wanted to know what basis people had for them.
The most unusual question i received at FASET when i told them i lived in atlanta was whether or not i lived in a house. i didn't really know how to respond to such a question. for the record yes i do live in a house. Surprisingly most of these kids actually lived in Georgia. i don't know if it's just the fact that atlanta is a city and there doesn't seem to be many houses around, and because Georgia tech is a city college students aren't expecting to see lots of houses around.
I also take pleasure in showing friends around Atlanta and having them realize that there's more to Atlanta than tech campus and good fella's at 2 in the morning. the connotation Georgia tech gets is for begin a fairly dangerous college. there are headlines of student muggings and stabbings but that is not atlanta entirely. Atlanta really isn't a dangerous city during the day and is filled with great neighborhoods and parks.
the only serious southern stereotype i can think of at Gt is KA. KA is known for being one of the msot southern fraternities on campus with their plantation style house, pride in southern music and annual southern ball.
