This paper begins by providing an overview of the global problem of student suicide. It then provides statistics and figures
for this phenomenon and looks at a case study of one such tragedy. Focusing on Oxford University, it looks at the way in which college and student organizations are trying to combat this problem and the role which
academic pressure is said to play in causing suicide. It discusses the lack of proper counseling available and the issue of female discrimination on campus. It finally concludes with a list of reforms that are needed in universities in general and Oxford in particular.
