“A lot of these suicides were students jumping on top of the school’s buildings to their deaths.”

Good grief ... they must have a hellacious track team ... especially in the high jump ...

LOL! I wonder why the students at the military academies (except West Point?) are so sad. Pressure of having complete their courses adequately and on time?

Even Wikipedia knows the fame of NYU's Bobt Library, where suicides have occured many times before.

Here is the Wiki entry :
"Bobst is also infamous for the several suicides that occurred inside the building, in which students jumped from the corridors of the higher floors down to the lobby below. In response, NYU created plexiglass barriers around these corridors to prevent students from jumping, and expanded an initiative to reach out to students regarding mental health."

Here's a picture of the library :
