Cornell University

Cornell has one of the highest suicide rates. This is not true. It does have some suicides, like any school, but in proportion to the student population, the rate is not excessively higher than at other schools.

When a virgin crosses the arts quad at midnight the statues of AD White and Ezra Cornell get up and meet each other in the center of the Quad to shake hands and congratulate each other on the chastity of Cornellians. (I don't know anyone who has tried it, but there are footprints on the quad, so maybe it's true).

If a couple walks around all of Beebe Lake holding hands they will get engaged.

If you are asked for a kiss at midnight on the suspension bridge and say no, the bridge will fall into the gorge.
