By 6 a.m., the students at Deep Springs are already awake &#39 all 26 of them. The dairy boys are milking cows (no snickering, please), the student cook is preparing breakfast and the cowboy has been up since the night before watching the calves. Let&#39s not even talk about the cattle castration. Not quite homecoming, is it?

Though work in the field (located near the Inyo mountain range in Northern California) consumes much of the students&#39 day, there&#39s plenty of classroom time, too. As at a traditional college, students take algebra and literature classes (no joke: be prepared to learn a lot about poetry), live in dorms and eat in dining halls; of course, those classes only have about four students, there&#39s only one dorm (with 12 bedrooms) and those meals come with a breakfast, lunch and dinner bell. It&#39s not a cowbell, which would have been cool. Ah, well.
