<p>This thread is ridiculous. Why would any Ivy League student body have an inferiority complex? We are talking about 8 of the top 10 or top 15 universities in the nation. </p>
<p>And I am not sure what suicide rates have to do with anything. But as it so happens, the university with the highest suicide rate among elite universities is MIT, not Cornell. Cornell isn’t even second, third…or fourth for that matter. In statistical terms, the national average suicide rate for college students is 7.5 students per 100,000 students. Cornell’s suicide rate is 5.6 per 100,000 students, which is well below the national average and also below other elite universities such as Duke, Harvard and Johns Hopkins.</p>
