A Weird MIT Dorm Dies, and a Crisis Blooms at Colleges
MIT’s Senior House was a haven for creative outsiders. Adminstrators said it was dangerous and shut it down.
Hasnain says:
"One way they get through it is by depending on their dorm families. “I can’t tell you how many times I heard that Senior House saved a student’s life,” Feldmeier says. He points out that despite MIT’s high suicide rates—12.6 per 100,000 students in the years between 2010 and 2015 (the national collegiate average is 7.5)—Senior House hasn’t had a suicide in more than 20 years."
