Is this thread for real? It comes across as really condescending and outright offensive. And why are you comparing across universities? Yes, there may be institutional problems, but it seems bad to make this a competition. Mental health is a sensitive issue.

Edit: Sorry if this came across as too harsh. A guy in my year (and there are only about 1000 of us) was found dead in the physics lab two days ago after an apparent suicide. It's so tragic, but mental health is so nuanced. Things like that can't be reduced to just what an institution creates.

This is just plain bizarre quite frankly...

Why would you even want to know something like this is what i'm wondering :/

I can't really understand whats going on in your head when you try link specific uni's and mental health problems. It's not like UoM makes everyone who goes there "damn introverted and self-centered" . It's got pretty much nothing to do with the specific university, a lot of these people had problems before going to university and those that didn't probably would of developed them anyway regardless if they went to UoM or Monash.

It seems like you're drawing one big huge character and trying to sum up the whole measure of a person and their mind in terms of which university they just happen to go to...

People are people regardless of what you stereotype them or what university they go to... why does it matter if someone got under 50 or not...

Mental health issues like this are very serious and its near impossible to draw exaggerated caricatures and stereotypes of whole *human beings* especially just because they didnt do as well as others in vce or go to swinburne :/
