[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read the article, but when I was suicidal in law school I wish I’d been encouraged to withdraw on a leave of absence. An elite school is a pressure cooker and the suicidal mind doesn’t need that, it needs self care and full nights of sleep and healing. My elite law school was only too happy to keep taking my tuition fees and didn’t care at all that I was barely surviving much less getting the benefit of the education I was taking on a mortgage to obtain. Students with acute mental health issues at any university should be encouraged to leave if that is what treating physicians recommend and assured that their place would be waiting when they were ready to return. That’s respecting the healing required from suicidal ideation and putting the student’s well being ahead of the cash grab.[/quote]
