<blockquote> <p>You can see how obscure it is when everyone names the hidden gems of California, the Claremont College, yet no one brings up Deep Springs! ...(it's a two-year college)<<</p> </blockquote>

<p>As you point out, Deep Springs is a two year school requiring transfer to a college to finish your degree. When people on CC and people in general talk about looking for a college they usually mean four-year BS/BA-granting schools, not junior colleges. There are many fine JCs out there, Deep Springs among them, but as a groups they usually stand outside of most of these discussions.</p>
