This was in NYC.

I know the story, it's a famous anecdote in psychology. It's actually about 30-40 people that ignored Kitty's screams. And I wrote a 10 page paper on the Diffusion of Responsibility for AP Psych. Anyway, point is, how can college students suddenly 'ditch the stereotype of wild party-animal' if only one kid acts in a crowd of over 100? Really that seems to be enforcing another stereotype. Uncaring slacker.
