I am fairly sure he spent two years at SRC. He is listed as an alumni. Also a Sophomore Seminar teacher at SRC sometimes mentions the various alumni he has taught, Seamus being one of them. Generally after two years at SRC most students tranfer to another college. They usually tranfer as juniors and therefore spend two years at the college they transfer to, but they sometimes transfer as freshman and spend four years, or transfer as sophmores and therefore spend three years at that college.
Just to clarify: He spent two semesters at Simon's Rock, but the article is incorrect - he didn't graduate from there. He later transferred to Bard, where he spent three years. I was in his graduating class at Bard in 2004. I never got to know him personally but his presence was well known. Here's a Fox News interview with Mia Farrow that mentions, specifically, his attendance at Bard.
"...Seamus, is 14 and about to start his senior year at Bard College. You read that right: college. Seamus is a genius, no kidding, and has fit in well with the students. How he gets to Bard, which is on the Hudson River in Westchester County, N.Y., is the real story..."

IIRC he was living on campus but the interview is otherwise correct.
- No disagreement at all. My earlier revert was only because the previous edits had removed any mention of Simon's Rock. --FOo 21:46, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Moderation/Senior Project at Bard
I am a former instructor of Ronan's and can verify that although he did moderate in both biology and philosophy, he ultimately completed his Senior Project jointly between the latter department and the political science department (faculty members from both sat on his project board). I've updated the sentence to accurately reflect his areas of study and project topic. Cozick 06:22, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Broken Link
The link to the article from The Insider, titled "Woody and Mia's Son," no longer works. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tetty2 (talk • contribs) 04:00, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Custody Battle/Relationship With Allen
A biography covers the most significant and influential events of a person's life--why does this article include so little about the notorious custody battle between his parents? It's not good enough to say that this info is covered in the wikipedia articles about his parents--these happenings are part of Ronan's life too. Acknowledging the custody battle and his strained relationship with Allen afterwards in no way diminishes the good work Ronan is now doing overseas, if this is the reason why people have been so reluctant to discuss his earliest years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.229.131 (talk) 08:00, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
The consensus against including a detailed chronology of the custody battle makes sense, first of all because that data is duplicative. It makes more sense to include that info, in maximally detailed form, in his parents' articles (since it relates only peripherally to this person, and very directly to them). It's more concise and logical to include a link to that existing discussion than to repeat it.

- Agreed on not duplicating the info on his parents relationship. I don't think represents a reluctance to discuss his earliest years, since the article does mention this and link to more info - it's just good wiki policy. e.g., Prince Harry and Prince William's wikis don't include a detailed explanation of the breakdown of their parents' marriage.

I would not look down on Wiki if we instinctively left an already abused child alone! But there's a solid criterion here too. We're not Entertainment Tonight hunting for the juicy stuff. Relevance guides. Should RS Farrow have become an advocate for children who had survived custody battles, his childhood might be relevant. But Darfur genocide? Glad to see, by the way, that the annoying Wiki habit of categorizing everyone by their ethnicity was thought irrelevant.("Jewish American comedian Woody Allen....)

On that subject if he's listed as Jewish-American and Irish-American why not Australian-American too? That's his maternal grandfather. It could go on and on. As for his relationship with Woody, I thought I read that he won't have anything to do with him, but I could be confused with another child. That might be relevant if it is the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.125.75.111 (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
After all his sister married his father. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.146.97.227 (talk) 03:53, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
