Good points! Regarding 'voluntary': At some point there should be a written commitment from the student, but I'm undecided about whether it will be a formal, legal document signed before admission. The more external pressure I apply, the less the student will accept inner responsibility for the commitment. If you put a gun to someone's head and say, 'sign here' that person will not feel genuine commitment. I'm also on the fence about whether the college should be located in a poor country. Yes, the cost of living is lower but it may be harder for the student to immigrate to a rich country after graduation. Immigration is key - without it the college is unlikely to grow at 10% per year.
