Larz Kazakoff transfered to an independant study program after Oxbow but due to the subjects he began to study and other eye-opening experiences, he made a conscious choice to drop out and is no longer involved in any school other than life. After more than a year of backpacking, hitchiking, train hopping, and traveling the states, he now lives and work-trades at the foot of Mt. Shasta and is involved with a group that is starting a work-trade farm on the coast of Northern California.
Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

Oxbow was, without a doubt, the best part of my high school experience. A year after leaving, and I still feel as though it were yesterday that I was sitting on the lawn, eating in the dining hall, and laughing with my friends in the studios.

Oxbow forced me to create, and by creating, I established foundation for my thought.
