Cornell "Suicide School" NPR Story

[jkahn]

my niece is now a freshman in high school and is starting to look at colleges.  I had lunch with her yesterday and it was a rare day when a teenager was in a chatty mood.  She has been researching colleges in the northeast and has been checking out the IVY league schools.  she wanted to know what was up with Cornell, the gorges and suicides. oh dear. I was not anticipating that discussion over lunch.

She is favoring (at least today) going to school in the city so she is intrigued by Columbia and UPENN.  You should have seen the look I got when I asked about Dartmouth.

for those of you who used to go to the Estero holiday tournament, this is my "little" red-headed niece who is now 8 months away from being able to legally drive.

Hard to believe that cute little Cornell fan is focusing on college. Does she realize she's focusing on the only two Ivies without a hockey team?

Apparently Boston doesn't count as a city. :-}

i'm hoping as she looks more into the different schools, boston will start to rise.  unfortunately, Molly is not too much into sports. but it is early yet, and she is 15.  this could all change in 6 months.

When my younger sister was looking at colleges, I invited her to come to Cornell and spend a weekend with me and some friends.  One of the things we did was go to a concert at Barton Hall.  After the visit, she decided she wasn't interested in Cornell because it was "too big."

She went to Penn instead.  ::whistle::
