Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Across the board, students say that they would attend Deep Springs College all over again if they could. Many first years at Deep Springs prove to be the most wonderful, hardest, and formative years of men's lives. There is no other place on Earth students would rather be for college and no place that would shape them as much.

At Deep Springs, high levels of interest and involvement in campus activities ensure success and a productive experience. Despite sometimes-callous exteriors, students genuinely care for each other, and the support provided by this small student body is unmatched in higher education. Every member of the student body is happy to provide a shoulder to cry on, an arm to punch, a pair of ears to listen, and more. There is no place as intense, demanding, and rewarding as Deep Springs.
