[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love Princeton, NJ. It was my dream school. It's gorgeous and I love the small town and restaurants.

I went to a large state school with just a small town.  I truly don't get all these people talking about their kid wants to go clubbing and head out into the city...wtf.

Maybe because my kids live in an urban neighborhood and take the Metro to HS in DC it seems absurd to me.

We did all of our partying on campus and at off-campus apartments...and then as we were older the 3 nearby college bars in the small town.

Maybe there would be a road trip to visit friends at another school or go to a college game---but it wasn't about clubbing after hours in NYC--so much time for that post college...not to mention expensive AF for a college kid!![/quote]

Eh, that’s your opinion.

I grew up in MoCo and my friends and I used to sneak into clubs in DC every weekend starting in high school. We were able to get into certain bars in DC and Bethesda by senior year in HS. College was an entirely different scene.

[b]Anyway, college campuses and college towns don’t drive kids to take their life. [/b]It’s a mental health issue (sometimes fueled by parents…google the latest research on parents with anxiety shaping the mental health and behavior of their offspring…it’s sad…everyone just needs to chill out).

I think Katie Meyer would disagree, if she were still alive. What is sick is that at the same time that Stanford was driving Katie to her death, it was actively minimizing the academic misconduct of its President, Marc Tessier-Lavigne.

Do not excuse the behavior of these schools.
