| I know someone who went and then matriculated at Yale. He is an impressive young man and said the experience was truly life changing. |

| One of my son's classmates went there. If I remember correctly, he is now at a top LAC. Yes, also considers the experience life changing. |

| It doesn't draw a lot of kids, period. Aren't there only about two dozen students total? |

I am not sure about the educational requirements, but universities are generally nice places to work.

Very unique. I enjoyed the segment, but it is a little inconvenient to have to transfer after two years.
Still, I can see how it would be life changing for suitable kids. |

Very difficult to get in
High numbers (all?) transfer into very selective 4 year schools to complete their degree Life changing We know a student who completed the program and went on to an Ivy |

| Last time I looked they only had 20 students. And it is a two year college -- you need to transfer somewhere else to complete your bachelor's degree |

| Someone transferred into my class at Williams College from there. Very interesting guy, especially when compared to all the athletic prep school types. |

| My plan has always been for the kid to go here. If it’s not here it’s community college. |

How old are your kids? That's quite a statement -- that the only school other than community college is a unique all-men's school that requires students to do farm chores and live with only 25 other people. |
