Last week, two New York University students died just days apart from each other.

Police officials told the New York Post, that Jacqueline Beauzile, 19, was pronounced dead by EMS after she was found unresponsive at Lipton Hall on Thursday.

The body of Doreah Salti, 18, was discovered around 7:30 PM outside the Barney building on Stuyvesant Street. She was later pronounced dead at the Bellevue Hospital with trauma on her body that indicated that she had either jumped or fallen from the building.

With many speculating that Salti's death was a suicide, her family said they believed her death was an accident.

University spokesman John Beckman said, “The death of any young person is a source of sorrow to the NYU community," and that the cause of death is still pending.

Mostly at the beginning of a semester or around exams, I think. I haven’t studied it.

I feel like there’s a lot of pressure for students because it’s such an expensive university in an expensive city and so competitive. I don’t know that there are specific schools where it’s more prevalent, but maybe it has something to do with coming from being a big fish in high school to not being all that special when you’re in with big fish from all over the world.
