re: ULM is back in the Top3 of STDs!

That makes the study useless. A campus is not a representative sample of the surrounding county.

Their results don't make any sense either. Penn has a much higher STD rate (dumb stat but it's the one their using) and a higher sexual assault rate than Marquette. Any reasonable person would say that should mean Penn has worse overall sexual health than Marquette. The outcomes are worse.

One thing to note with all those private schools on the list is that they are all either in major urban areas (SMU, Vandy, TCU, Marquette, UPenn) or are in horrid shithole towns with a lot of poverty, drugs, and violence (Notre Dame, Duke). If they're using the county/city STD rate as a proxy for the school, then the study isn't worth the paper it was printed on.
