The USA TODAY analysis of student deaths finds that a disproportionate number of freshmen die. They represent 35% of undergraduate deaths in the study ââ?¬â? but only 24% of the undergraduate population ââ?¬â? from such causes as illness, suicides and accidents. Parents should be ââ?¬Å?aware of the potential risks to college students and take reasonable measures,ââ?¬Â says Ann Franke of Wise Results, a Washington-based education law and risk management firm.
