You will never understand and blaming the university is ludicrous.

You're right!

It's Bush's fault.

That's six within the past year, three took place off campus.

I know. I was trying to keep the thread alive, so to speak.

I don't know why, but that's got to be the funniest thing I've heard all day.

Hey, I'm a funny gal. ; )

[P.O.E.]

As for me, I could never understand how one could be a *serious* student at the very center of the NYC party scene, Greenwich Village.

I did it in the mid-70's. It was tough to make it to class the next day on many occasions.

AP Correction:

NEW YORK (AP) - In a Sept. 6 story about a fatal fall at New York University, The Associated Press used the police department's incorrect spelling of the student who jumped to her death. Her name was Joann Michelle Leavy, not Joann Mitchell Levy.

WHY ??

Please could you have mercy on those of us who put out upwards of $50K a year to send our kid to Tisch.

I agree with you that NYU needs to take this "epidemic" of window jumping by students more seriously.

I agree with those who say that the stress may lead to some students to suicide. But how many other ways are there to kill yourself? Why would a person choose the window jumping method? What ever happened to good ole fashioned wrist slitting? No, but seriously....
