<p>no..i said i liked brokeback experience. go back and reread. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>i thought the movie was just okay; the guys in the film looked good. for that year, i rooted for capote as the best picture.</p>
<p>Sam, I understood your meaning right from the start. I think your meaning was very clear. Some people are so quick to play the outraged, offended, politically correct snob card.</p>

<p>The irony is to be really PC, one shouldn't make assumption about one's sexual orientation. ;) If I weren't assumed to be straight (I actually thought I gave an obvious hint that I wasn't), my humor would be apparent. Honestly, I really wouldn't mind going to an all-male college.</p>
<p>I was away all summer working at a camp and missed this entire thread! I found it by searching for Deep Springs which has recently piqued my interest. I wanna join the arguing and support what I see as one of the most fantastic opportunities in education or otherwise. So now I'm bumping it to hopefully continue this dialog.</p>
<p>lol, I can't believe idiots here attempt to insult schools without really researching about it...</p>
<p>Wow, after reading and researching all this, I definitely feel like DS would've been an excellent place for me for those 2 years... Good job worthless HS advisers...</p>
<p>and how did that one kid go from DS to Princeton? Princeton doesn't take transfers...</p>
<p>When I was there, there were 7 7-week terms in the year, divided by one or two (sometimes three-week) breaks. No students were allowed to leave the COMPLETELY ISOLATED valley during the 7-week term. Somethimes we had dances, and there were community gatherings about once per week. Dances were interesting without women, but enjoyable.</p>
<p>Interesting excerpt from the Swarthmore site.</p>
