Lulz, semester's not even a week old, first 18-year old drinks herself to death at Towson.

At least it was during the add/drop period, so I'm certain her folks can get most of the tuition refunded.

Any withdrawal prior to the 12th class day give you a 100% refund with only a small matriculation fee.  That should cover the burial expenses.

If your roommate commits suicide, you get As for the rest of the semester.

As it happened in off-campus housing, it may make the Baltimore Sun, but not CLERY Act statistics.  Whew, says Admissions.

I wonder if anyone got to be a valedictorian after having eight roommates off themselves?  That would be one hell of a depressing speech at the graduation.  :hmm:

BB lived in civilized jurisdictions where the drinking age is/was 18.

And Ide swoons.

Ide needs to pay very close attention to the STEM section where the author talks about the overly broad brush the area gets painted with and how it isn't all flowers and rainbows in it.

Ideologue

Yeah, but flowers can grow because sometimes it actually does fucking rain in it.
