She invites one of the students to join them back in a room, but the other doesn't go (the student walks off with his hand on his woman's clothed butt). The student then gets the impression that another man is interested in him (due to some miscommunication, but that man isn't ).

Frightening & Intense Scenes
Severe
The college girl's suicide by cuts her wrists is difficult to watch
Very dark comedy with events of unhappy drinking and suicide
A scene of rape is shown, if you aren't comfortable with seeing this, then fast forward these scenes..
The scene where a man fakes his suicide to another woman when she comes in after his attempt by putting fake blood on his throat and laughing is pretty disturbing.
The video taping of the rape of a woman who is sleeping while drunk, and the following vomiting, is disturbing. This may be difficult for some viewers.
