My cousin who went to Deep Springs ended up at Harvard for the last two years of his degree so I am not entirely certain how anti-Harvard it is. But I do know it is a special place and he remains very glad of his time spent there.

Well, one definition of "anti-" is "the opposite of" (which is the wording of the title). But "anti-" can also mean "opposed to." I don't think that Deep Springs is specifically opposed to Harvard, but it's clearly an educational experience widely different from that of Harvard and most other universities.

In her cousin’s case, I guess it was ante-Harvard rather than anti-Harvard. 😉 Let’s face it, I can’t resist a bad pun...

I guess you had to ante up.
