I wish I studied at LUMS

It is sad, when someone dies. More so, when that person is young and it gets sadder when that person takes his own life. I did not know Hashir Munawer, although after reading about him I wish I did.
I found out about his death yesterday, when the official report was released. A few of my friends had joined a community on Facebook; In memory of Hashir Munawer. I googled his name and found out that a student in his final year, at LUMS, had committed suicide. This was the first time I had heard of a student committing suicide in Pakistan, really. Before this it only happened in movies in some other country. What I am trying to say is that it was never this real. So then I wanted to know the reason WHY. Why would a young man from LUMS, the ‘best’ University in Pakistan, decide that he did not want to live anymore? So I read a few more articles. All of them said that Hashir had not committed suicide because of his grades and he did not have any issues with his friends. He was an average student, who people loved. He was on probation and was an excellent volleyball player. No emphasis on the probation. Said in a matter of fact tone, there are many others on probation. Not all of them commit suicide. No one had mentioned the fact that he had been asked to leave the University and just that morning he had received his expulsion letter.
I don’t know why no one is bringing it up. Okay so LUMS is an amazing university and has the best teachers..whatever. They change their policies without informing the students, that’s an example of just how great they are. Also, the classes are so full that students don’t have chairs to sit on. Students don’t get to choose the courses, the courses choose them…based on their availability. I wish I studied in such a great university, where a fan and a table were more important then my life. Where stress was like oxygen. A university that received load of foreign aid, but they still sucked my parents blood for tuition fee. A university where the grade on my transcript would not change even if I took the course again. *sigh* A dream come true. I wish I studied at LUMS.
