Bad things that have happened in your school?

<p>Well, last year a student died during a drinking hazing ritual, and just about every year someone passes out on the railroad tracks and looses a limb.</p>

<p>For UC Irvine:</p>

<p>-A couple years back, some guy jumped of Engineering Tower (it’s the highest building on campus…10 stories I believe). Because of that, no one is allowed to go to the top floor of the building anymore. Apparently if you try to go to the top of the building, they can ban you from it.</p>

<p>-Like 3 years back, a resident hang himself in one of the residential complexes.</p>

<p>-Some guy suicided (shot himself?) in one of the parking structures since newspaper mention “dead body found in parking structure”</p>

<p>-There was an explosion (from the propane) in the dining commons of one of the complexes and burn couple people. They got sent to the hospital. One suffer really severe burns on her hands and was in bandages for a while (I saw her and felt bad for her). One got burns on the face so he has to wear like a mask on his face since his face was sensitive to sunlight for the time being. Don’t know too much about the 3rd person who was burned. What was sad was that the complex worry more about covering up the incident than actually see if the students were okay. The same night, none of the complex staffers visited the hospital to check up on the students who were burned. Only the resident advisors (RA) visited the students at the hospital</p>

<p>In my dorm, there was an orgy last year and a ton of kids got in deep deep trouble. It was like a 30 person orgy in our main lounge.</p>

<p>That’s pretty awesome.</p>

<p>At the University at Buffalo, somebody fell off like an 8 story dorm.
At Geneseo, some guy died at an unofficial fraternity’s hazing from drinking too much.</p>

<p>forgot about this one:</p>

<p>-Some freshman went to a frat event (clubbing event) at a city like 10-15 minutes away. The guy got drunk and somehow made his way to the nearby freeway (that’s like 5 miles). According to my friend, he said that the guy (drunk then) was trying to walk back to campus (which is quite bizarre since campus was good 15 miles away) so he was running back and forth between the central divider and the right shoulder. He then got hit by a car and died. I believe we still don’t really know what happened and why he was on the 405 freeway in the first place.</p>

<p>I’m not in college yet but at a university dorm in my city earlier this year, a girl was talking to one of her friends outside her dorm and when she casually went to lean against the railing, it gave way and she fell 3 stories. She stayed in the hospital for 4 days but thankfully she survived.</p>

<p>Michael Jackson died</p>

<p>

I call phony until I see the evidence…</p>

<p>

Wow! Where does this happen?</p>

<p>“Serial rapist this year.”</p>

<p>Isn’t that called a frat? ;)</p>

<p>If any of you decide to become tour guides later on, definitely make sure to share these events with prospectives and their parents. Extra points if you tell them with a huge smile and a happy voice.</p>

<p>It was 20 years ago, but a madman came in my school and shot 14 people. He specifically targeted women.</p>

<p>It’s a pretty well known event in Canada and was one of the first mass shootings in a North American university. Here’s the Wikipedia article: [url=<a href=“École Polytechnique massacre - Wikipedia”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecole_Polytechnique_massacre&lt;/a&gt;]</p>

<p>this thread is so gruesome…</p>

<p>^^hahaha, platt.</p>

<p>Was the orgy in Risley?</p>

<p>People living in Risley are known to be promiscuous. They have nude painting sessions in the building weekly.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>African-American professor harassed, detained, and struck by public safety officers, because a female student had called in a report of an unidentified man (she never said “black”) harassing female students in the area.</p></li>
<li><p>A girl was smoking on one of the paths behind her dorm, was jumped and raped. Never caught the guy.</p></li>
<li><p>A girl got wasted on LSD in her dorm room, shut herself in her closet, and suffocated. There are still scratch marks on the inside of the door (supposedly…old campus legend).</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Plattsburgh - when I took my guided tour of NYU last year I had a tour guide who cheerily told the group that the reason the windows in the dorms don’t open all the way is because so many people used to jump.</p>

<p>A former faculty member sat himself in the middle of Red Square and lit himself on fire…</p>

<p>

haha and also throw things out the window (which can potentially kill people!)</p>

<p>nyu has so many delightfully morbid tidbits. Did you know our entire campus is situated on an enormous Indian burial ground? there’s thousands of skeletons buried beneath the sunny park, and one of the trees was used to hang convicts back in the day. And hundreds of women burned to death in the Brown building. Bobst library has plexiglass on the stairs since people used to jump off, and the floor tiles were designed to resemble spikes from the top floors to discourage suicide. plus lots of morbid stuf has happened in the dorms, which used to be hotels so who knows what went on. </p>

<p>The LSD story creeps me out.</p>

<p>UC Irvine:

  1. A girl got raped in the parking lot behind our dorm
  2. There were three (?) guys who were busted for having 2 pounds of marijuana in their car. Yeah 2 pounds seriously…</p>

<p>@ Irviner: I thought the first one was a rumor… -_-</p>
