We've lost four at my school this semester, three related to alcohol (drunk driving), and a murder. Boulder has twice the students we do as well. There was a hit and run the weekend before last but luckily those two lived. Allegedly the assistant football coach pulled a gun on the president of the College Republicans in a parking lot as well. I think there are just as many stupid acts, but our law enforcement is doing a better job, and it is being publicized more.
At least we don't have a serial rapist/attacker like last year, and we got funding for the "drunk taxi" thanks to the Parents Association.
I don't think it is just Boulder, I think a lot of schools are having problems, and are also receiving more media coverage. I'm seeing a lot more idiotic behavior from underclassmen this year than the previous. I know I've done some questionable things in my time, but when I talk with freshmen and sophomores they actually scare me with some of their behavior.
