How would you check that? I remember there was a (rumored) suicide at my school while I was there, and it was hushed up really well so that even a lot of students wouldn't have heard about it.
Far as I know, there isn't a searchable database of 'suicides per school'.

The only one I knew personally died for reasons unrelated to the Instititute— in fact it was one of his bright spots in some ways (though he suffered dreadfully from the imposter syndrome as well so in other ways it made things worse). However MIT can be a very difficult place and I don’t want to gloss over that. And I think the institute could do a lot to improve things.
