haha yeah right, NYU students are nothing like that, at least in my classes (and i’m pre-med and not in an easy major)…most people here are pot smoking hipsters, not the bookworm types…and my Cornell friends are pretty chill. Maybe it’s just MIT students? And Cornell’s suicide rate is below the national average, it’s a stupid rumor. </p>
<p>Cornell and NYU have developed reputations for high suicide rates because they’re freaking huge - NYU is the largest private school and Cornell the 2nd largest, so there’s more people killing themselves, and Cornell students do it in the gorges and NYU students leap off Manhattan buildings so the grisly deaths earn more attention. I bet UC has a LOT more suicides since it’s like the largest college.</p>
