<li><p>this is a new site; it just happens that some of the NU students discovered it earlier and it takes only a small group of bad apples to expand and spread. I am also not convinced that most of those posts aren’t by the same persons. People that have an ax to grind can easily pretend to be someone else while they are really just literally talking to themselves or among the same few people. </p></li>
<li><p>anyone can be a member with a “.edu” account and any member can post on any school’s page. Not every post there is necessarily posted by NU students. In fact, in this early stage, since many other schools are rather quiet because no one there knows about it <em>yet</em>, people from other schools have reason to congregate on NU page, jacking up the number further. </p></li>

<p>It’s not like NU admission purposely selects catty people and schools don’t have the power to change personality traits.</p>
