Though not without its costs. The suicide rate at Caltech is disturbing (though I say this as someone who nearly lost a loved one to that).

- xvedejas 12y agoThis might be the stereotype but I don't think it's true at Caltech these days. There hasn't been a single undergraduate suicide at Caltech in at least the last four years. Mental health resources have gotten much better (though they're certainly nowhere near perfect). We're still a much lower suicide rate than MIT, and a lower suicide rate than what my high school had.
- saryant 12y agoThat's good to hear. My ex-fiance was there 2008-12 and it was brutal those years. Took her years to recover.
