Question about Cornell Life

The rumor that “Cornell has one of the highest suicide rates in the country” is false. Many people seem to “take advantage” of Cornell’s large number of waterfalls, gorges, and bridges, to stir up a misconception.

It’s sort of difficult to generalize the entire student body. In college, you’ll find that there are niches everywhere, ranging from athletic jocks to down-to-earth, laid back people, to geeky video game nerds. There certainly will be people who are having the time of their lives while others may be struggling or even going through a “slump” that’s completely unrelated to being at Cornell. Bottom line, you’ll find the “happy vs depressed” theme almost at any college. It’s what you make most of it, hopefully the former.
