It Takes a Tribe evaluation

I found this story very interesting because I could relate to it. Being currently enrolled in a University, these stereotypes are very common and apparent. For example, there is a twitter account called SMACKhigh, where they just make fun of and criticize all the high schools and colleges in Massachusetts.  They also criticize Bridgewater State University. Because Bridgewater state is a 'dry-campus', meaning that there is no tobacco allowed on campus and security levels are high in all the residential buildings, the twitter account constantly criticizes the fact that it is tough to party at Bridgewater and to have a good time. To an extent, this is true. Security is very high in all the buildings, especially the freshman dorms, where there is 24 hour security at the front desk. It is very tough to sneak things into the dorm because of the constant security presence. Compared to a place like Umass Amherst, one of the biggest party schools in the nation, this might be the worst place to go to college for some people, but I disagree with that statement. Also the rivalry between schools is apparent through this twitter account. I know that when the twitter account talks down to my school, I get slightly offended and a little angry. Then other people from other schools chime in with their comments about my school, and that fuels my rage even more. Just because of this twitter account, different rivalries are created between schools, and it soon turns into which person goes to the better school.
