[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He would probably be equally or even more unhappy at a larger school with less support. Princeton is hardly the only school with pressure to obtain certain desirable jobs and is highly competitive. [/quote]

Princeton is admitting a "certain type of kid" then looking askance as those kids develop depression and worse suicides. The school and some alumni will, in so many words, say "well they just couldn't cut it, look how happy and fun the alumni and reunions are". But how do you say that when the school continues to have a track record of admitting those types of kids and the resulting increasing depressions and suicides relative to their peer schools. Something is not right. That place is a real life example of "not all that glitters is gold".

Other schools also have high depression and suicide rates, though some not as reported on. Dartmouth does not have the same pressure-cooker reputation as Princeton but has high suicide rates. There’s a lot hidden at even UCLA- they don’t want it to get reported on/contagion effect. [/quote]
