Why did they take so long to search for him and why does this seem to happen more frequently at Princeton?

| Perfectionistic kids who struggle in such a competitive environment. Little resilience, poor mental health after years of competing and being valued for external accomplishments. |

Princeton is known for grade deflation and not especially warm prof-ug dynamic. Can exacerbate these points. |

| Lots of personal life issues at this age potentially as well. Poor kid. Hope somehow there is a happy resolution. |

Princeton has had an increase in suicide. There have been several other cases like this. Poor kid and family. I hope he just had a mental break and took off but is found safely. |

Please let the latter be the case. His parents must be in agony. |

| Again? What the heck is Princeton doing to these kids? You don’t seem to hear these stories coming out of Harvard. |

Yes it seems like Princeton has a horrific student climate with the suicides last 3?years. I’d switch to a brown grading culture if I were then. Princeton came to our private school this year (first time in a really really long time) encouraging people to apply. I only think one kid did. Got in but going to Yale. |

Nothing recent, apparently? |
