"Many people have the idea that any Maths student is either a delinquent child prodigy, or a larger version with very thick glasses. This is not the case. Although people will take the mickey when they find out you study Maths, think of this as an occupational hazard and don't take it too seriously. Whilst you may find yourself denying the fact that you study Maths, this will probably be an attempt to avoid getting pressed into helping other non-maths students with their maths problems, than to avoid a stereotype. You will certainly not be buying into a life of social leprosy by choosing Maths. Far from it. Maths students can found in most pubs and clubs and most have many interests outside the course that range from sport to DJing to drama."

got that from an article written by a maths student in Bristol! haha
