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.

I think they started letting women in recently.

It's co-ed. But only 30 students total. They take a about 13 new students a year.

Fine but it's still not for everyone and it's absurd for it to be the only residential college that a parent will consider.

I have one. He’s 7. When I was college age, Deep Springs didn’t allow women. But it was obviously a far superior experience to standard residential 4-year college fare—even then!

My goodness, does your kid have any say in this? It's an experience some kids would love but many would not. Maybe his dream will be your dream, but more likely not.

It went coed in 2018. Very progressive of them.

Sure! He can also go to community college, which I think is a perfectly fine choice.

If you're taking about the same person I'm thinking of (early 90s), I'll just say that "interesting" is a polite take.
