<p>Barbara Hall, associate provost at New York University, will also set unhappy students free. “They are, after all, 17 years old,” she says. “This is not a legal agreement they have signed. If a student says to us, ‘This is really where I thought I wanted to be, but I can’t see myself there now,’ we release the student. It doesn’t make sense to have students who don’t want to be here.”</p>
