Allen Savant is due to graduate in May. He encourages others to pursue an education no matter what age.
1996 was an important year for former university student Allen Savant. It was the year he dropped out and moved to Idaho.
Savant lived in the now-demolished Holloway-Smith dorms on campus from 1994 to 1996.
Many wondered why he decided to move out to Idaho instead of completing his degree at the university. Savant explained that he wanted to start a family, and Idaho was the best place to do it, given that his wife at the time had family there.
“I dropped out to raise a family. My wife, at the time, wanted to move to Idaho because her grandmother lives there, so we moved,” Savant said.
