[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you shouldn't jump to conclusions based on this.  It could be that Cornell is commendably facing a problem that is worse at other schools because their administration isn't.  Have your DC speak with actual students about this.  Your DD should do her own research.

Also, you should probably not go looking for things like this that will alarm you. [/b] You will find certain schools are known for drinking and certain schools are known for drugs and others have a hook-up culture, or whatever.  Your DD will have to negotiate all these things where ever she goes.  This is the time to step back and let her make the decisions.  My first is also a senior and is important not to let your own anxiety about them leaving home cause you to intrude on the process.[/quote]

Of course as a responsible parent sending off her daughter to school..she should be looking. What  a ridiculous statement. Yes there is reason to be alarmed and yes it is worse at Cornell. The entire lacrosse schedule for mens lacrosse was canceled due to a recent serious case involving hazing, this past week!!!
They were trying to keep it hushed but word got out and now everyone knows. Not to say it cannot happen elsewhere but it seems to happen more there, as well as suicides. Not a good thing for Cornell.[/quote]

I don't know anything about this incident, but it would seem to me there is a silver lining here, which is that the school went ahead and took action against the lacrosse team.[/quote]
