I am so sorry to hear this terrible story about such a young girl. I did my undergrad degree at Carleton and also found first year very difficult. The school is large, concrete and cold, the city is similar. There is little coherent social leadership at the school from either the students association or those in charge of the curriculum, like I found at smaller, better schools in my post grad years. Carleton has alot to answer for in this case. It is as if all Carleton want from students is their fees, and could care less about the person.
Carleton, winter, first year...
