The stereotypical student

Over the last couple of months when describing my life as a student to people at home the phrase "I'm Not a normal student" Kept popping up this i don't understand why people seem to think that all students are drunken louts who sleep all day and eat baked beans and live slum holes..

this made me think i am a little bit eccentric or "quirky" as my flat mate puts it and i don't believe in hair straighteners and being drunk to the point of not knowing what you're doing or really like gettting drunk that much. i enjoying going for a drink and sitting in a pub bar thing and all the rest but what i don't understand is the stereotypical view of students as most students think the same as me even if i am a bit more extreme than most people.
