Updated (July 20, 2018): A girl or two may be camping out at this outpost on the Deep Springs campus, affectionately named ‘DS1’, sometime this fall. Late this summer, the first female student(s) ever, after 94 years of educating only young men, may enroll here..
This exclusive and highly rated two-year college, remotely located in the rugged high desert of eastern California between Lone Pine, California, and Dyer, Nevada (its mailing address), may be the most isolated educational institution in the United States.
Deep Springs accepts only a maximum of 15 new students each year out of nearly 200 applications. The institution and its campus is a working cattle ranch, and the students all work on the ranch in lieu of paying tuition or any other college expenses, which is one of the allures of the school.
Stay tuned to see who the first female student will become a working cowgirl at the most unique higher educational program in America.
Latest rumors have it that the first girls are on campus according to new reporting from the Democratic Underground. Hopefully, there will be more specific information to follow in the days ahead.~llaw
