For reference, Deep Springs College, the male version of the college in this article, is in the desert of California. It’s a two year college set up something like a farm. One of the Facebook founders (Sean Eldridge or his husband I believe) attended here for two years before leaving.

It's only a two-year school! Some stay for three years, for reasons that are beyond me, but two years is the norm.

And every year, at least one person bails after one year. That was very nearly me.
