** Just because someone lives somewhere doesn't mean they know everything about it. They likely just assumed it wasn't a well-known place, and were more focused on Bartleby having gotten into a college at all. They weren't aware of the mental hospital being there, so they obviously didn't go through that area often, if ever.

* For all the headscratcher moments in the movie the one this troper can never look past is Bartleby and his family (and same for Hands and Rory) live in Harmon. How did none of their parents think "hang on, we've never heard of this college that's in our town" and think to maybe at least drive by the "campus"?

** And given the implication that most of the students come from strict, no-compromise homes, like Bartleby does, it's not unreasonable to conclude that Community College really ''was'' off the table for them.
